November 5, 2025 Enjoyed the service from booking my ticket very easy and simple, driver’s very nice and professional and informative with all the stops and breaks in between, the only problem is the toilet issue if they can be cleaned properly and water as well to wash hands and air freshner should be there as the smell gets really bad especially when someone is sitting next to the toilet 🚻 otherwise the trip was very safe shout out to the driver’s 👏
