My brother had to leave at 19:30 but instead they didn't want him to get into the bus. He departed at 02:00 in the morning and he had an exam to write in the morning

It was cool and all that, however I didn't like that the seats are so close to each other my knees needed to be stretched.😭 Everything else was cool though, and their service is alright.
