It was a pleasant trip. I was going to rate my driver but the new buses didn’t have the text number. However on a scale of 1-5 stars, I would definitely give him FIVE (5) STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

As a tourist I deserve a good service from the lady who sells the tickets, I only speak French and I was buying a ticket for New York, today and she treated me badly, I could not buy it and she touched me in peterpan, if they do not improve anything it serves her good service in transportation
