The worst experience. Ruined my day! We left 30min late, and at the second stop the driver was lost, he was asking the passengers for directions on how to get to the station! We arrived 1h late.

The buses were very dirty and the staff aren't always showing enthusiasm or politeness to the people on the bus. The timeliness was good.
