It was just okay. The bus was late, as expected but at least we had a good driver.

The bus was delayed by more than 2 hours. The staff was very rude to the passengers, yelling at passengers and treating them as if they were little kids. The bus was very stuffy, poor ventilation. The only positive thing about the trip was the driver himself as he was the only one out of the whole staff that was friendly towards the passengers, and a very careful driver.
