Driver was very good to explain everything. Bus seemed worn and old. The main point is that there needs to be much better signage at Airport to inform passengers that they have reached the right location to wait for bus arrival.

The bus was quite nice, comfortable. The ride was economical and timely. My only minor suggestion would be to post a sign at the airport pick up point.
