Customers had a quick and comfortable trip, with positive feedback on the service. Some mentioned going to the wrong station but found customer care helpful. However, there were concerns about almost missing the bus due to lack of follow-up communication before departure.

Horrible experience, it was supposed get into the station at 4:20 am, I got there at 4, been waiting until 5:20 am and then realised that the bus was already in the next city, turns out that the bus had been in the station before 4 and I didn’t even got a notification

Good. Though I went to the wrong station that morning but the customer care line was helpful. However, I could have missed the bus as the driver was about to move when I got there. Maybe a follow up Call could be made to ascertain I was there in time before the bus moves since I contacted the customer care earlier of my situation. Thanks.
