Users have shared positive experiences with the bus service, highlighting friendly and professional drivers, clean buses with pleasant scents, and punctual arrivals. However, some passengers noted discomfort due to closely spaced seats affecting legroom and neck support. Additionally, there were occasional delays in departure times despite timely arrivals at destinations.
The passenger in front of me kept pushing the chair back. Which made less room for my legs and made my legs painful. Besides that and the bus arriving 30 minutes late the experience was good.

I was very happy with bus 803, the heaters were on unlike the other one I used. But charger ports are not working and it fetched us late. But nice traveling because we arrived on time even though it was late for departure

I didn’t enjoy anything because the bus was almost 2 hours late, and later got lost in a town which we spent another 2 hours at. The bus was supposed to arrive at 22:05pm at my destination but it arrived at 02:00am.

Very terrible, the bus was supposed to leave Butterworth at 16:20 but they called to tell us that, the bus will leave at 14: 00 bear in mind that we were in the rural areas 2 hrs from Butterworth, we had to leave the funeral very early to try and catch the bus at 14:00, very unprofessional bus, will never use it again.
