Journey was smooth and fantastic. Would be easier if there was better indication of which bus was yours at the bus station though, through signage, megaphones to communicate etc

Nisha J.

The bus was very small and the driver barely used the AC despite the heat. It was too hot outside plus with wearing a mask to not use AC or have open windows. I felt so ill. It also would be nice to know in advance that public restrooms on our route require pesos.
