The driver was noted for being very professional, and the air conditioning functioned well throughout the trip. However, there were some concerns about ticket acceptance as a user reported difficulty with electronic tickets when only paper documents were accepted by the driver.

I almost missed the trip, the driver refused the message on my phone and wanted the paper document.

Шофьорът се държеше изключително нервно, грубо и троснато. Надявам се да е имал лош ден. Ако това е поведението/състоянието му по принцип, освен че е неуважително за пътниците, изглежда като да има твърде опънати нерви за отговорността която носи като шофьор на атобус. Благодаря за възможността да коментирам.
