They left me behind at a garage, and customer service didn't even know who was driving the bus. I was stranded and had to find my way home. Then my luggage is gone. The helpline stopped answering my calls, it's been over 10hrs, no answer on the helpline, I have no means of getting my luggage back. I can safely say, I shall never ever take a bus trip ever again.

My husband struggled up the stairs because he is old and infirmed, not strong enough to haul himself up. The driver and some of the passengers helped us to get him on.

Everything was amazing and comfortable especially the seats. One thing I didn't enjoy is that it was cold inside the bus.
