Brake down. Driver could inform more clearly. Not a train smash. Overall good because of safe driving.

Besides the bus being dirty, toilet inaccessible, and not all usb ports in a working condition, it was generally a pleasant trip. My driver's attitude on the road was impeccable, always driving in an acceptable manner, regarding the rules of the road, never speeding (like a lot of drivers do,) and being considerate of his passengers, as well as other road users. A true example of a conscientious, well behaved driver.

Hi there guys, I was disappointed to come back on a Blue sky bus. The foam on the seats was son thin made the trip really uncomfortable. Other than that, it was a pleasant trip.
