Users have shared positive experiences with the bus service, highlighting its cleanliness, comfort, and friendly staff. The buses are modern and well-equipped for charging devices. However, some travelers noted issues such as lack of Wi-Fi despite promises and occasional logistical challenges like incorrect drop-off points or seat assignments being duplicated.

Timewise they are good but the fact that they pick people along the roaf poses a threat to passengers
