Drivers are excellent Good customer care but the bus was not good charging system not working, we had to wait for passengers that were left back in park station for almost an hour and that cost our meetings. One passenger ask the driver why must we wait for people who did not keep to time, the driver answered "my manager instructed me to wait for them and I have to adhere to my manager's instructions" that was unprofessional from the manager to delay us because of people who did not keep time
