Customers have shared positive experiences with the bus service, highlighting its affordability, convenience, and reliability. Many appreciated the friendly and professional drivers who ensured a safe journey. The buses were noted for being clean; however, some reviews mentioned issues such as non-functional USB chargers and unpleasant odors from toilets that could be improved upon to enhance passenger comfort further.
Horrible is an understatement! The bus was delayed by 5+ Hours with no updates. The replacement bus was so small and uncomfortable. The charging points doesn't work in the bus,no toilet facilities on the bus. Which I'm very sure what we paid for 3 of the drivers made the experience even worse. They are playing music loud and are talking very loud. Not respecting other while they are sleeping. Halfway through the wipers on the bus stoped working. Which is very dangerous because it was raining. This is negligence from the company's side which action should be taken against the company. And should be taken very seriously.

Trip wasn't so good cause the air-conditioned wasn't working, so the driver had to opened the roof inorder for the air to come in. The drivers wasn't friendly and they never apologized or explained why the bus didn't have air-conditioned
Was so disappointed
