The trip was fine, professional drivers.
The music was load and only catered for one race group.
The aircon was not used which made a very stuffy, uncomfortable trip.

I enjoyed nothing, booked on line it showed there is a toilet. Only to find that there isn't, and not the 1st or second time this happens.
Driver's were rude, no patience for passengers.
I don't wish to ride this bus again.

The bus was neat and the drivers were very professional, however I was not.impressed with the fact that our luggage had to be packed without name tags or ticket number tags. This poses a huge risk of losing ones valuables.
