The reviews highlight a positive experience with the bus service, noting that it offers WiFi and features helpful drivers who assist passengers with luggage and information. However, there is feedback regarding the map's pin showing an incorrect pick-up location on the street side, which could be confusing for first-time visitors to Ireland.

Great bus with WiFi. Driver very helpful with luggage and assisting anyone with information.

Did not enjoy the map with the pin as the pin shows the wrong side of the street for pick up. Also, it would be beneficial to explain where to look on the bus stop signs for the JJ pick up. First timers to Ireland aren’t used to knowing where to look for street info either (on the side of buildings).

Easy and smooth
