The driver was very creative in avoiding traffic. You need to address the smell from the toilet, it needs a fan to extract the odour using the airflow from the moving bus.

The coach was so noisy. There was something loose in the baggage shelves. I'm sure it can be easily fixed with little effort. Otherwise it was ok
