It was fast and the break time at Montrose was longer than usual which is good and I'd like to provide some feedback regarding the restroom facilities. I understand that the toilets are designated for liquid waste only, but I believe it would greatly benefit everyone if we could also use them for solid waste. Perhaps there could be options for improving the plumbing system to accommodate this?
Passengers have shared positive experiences regarding the punctuality and smoothness of their journeys, highlighting friendly drivers and clean buses. The service is noted for being affordable with spacious seating.

The driver was really great and his driving skills made the entire ride seem like an absolute cruise.
The sitting is spacious enough so I was very comfortable.
