According to customer reviews, the bus had an issue with intense air conditioning that made it too cold. Some passengers were also described as unsocial and loud throughout the night. It would be helpful to have a way to report such behavior to the staff. Despite this, many customers still enjoyed their trip and would recommend it.

The bus was way too cold, the air conditioning was too intense. Also the fellow passengers were very asocial and loud the whole night. I would like an option to complain about fellow passengers to the staff.
