The bus never showed up at the station I was never even notified about the bus whether it's delayed or broken and call center never answered my calls.
Many users have praised the bus service for its punctuality, professional drivers, and overall satisfactory travel experience. However, there are concerns about cleanliness as some buses were reported to be infested with cockroaches. Additionally, there's feedback regarding ticket pricing for children under ten years old being too high compared to expectations.
I did not like how the bus drivers were rude. They did not help bringing out the suitcase from the truck. The aircons were on full blast it was so cold in the bus
