I didn't enjoy at all the bus didn't come at 20:00 and we didn't arrived at 9:00am we arrived here at 12:00pm and the bus arrived at park Station by 21:00 instead of 20:00.
Passengers have shared positive experiences regarding the comfort and cleanliness of the buses, with some appreciating timely arrivals as indicated on their tickets. However, there are concerns about delays in departure times and occasional route confusion leading to late arrivals. Additionally, a few users mentioned issues like insufficient communication during changes and an overly cold environment inside the bus.
The journey was good the only thing I don't like, the bus supposed departure at 17:45 didn't show up come up at 19:00 and along the way lost the route all that caused a lot of delays end up arriving late instead of the expected time as the result I didn't go to work. So on my side communication is the key if things change other than that I'm fine with your services
