Available sit was close to the toilet, the smell got to me badly, and the wind that comes from the window was unbearable. I would suggest the toilet not to be used if cant be cleaned properly. Lastly we arrived 4 hours later than expected and I lost a days work. The only star I give is for the Drivers for their care and respect.

The bus arrived very late for departure and then broke down within two hours of the journey. We had to wait approximately two hours for the bus to be fixed. The drivers refused to stop for a bathroom break afterwards even though we told them that the on board bathroom was overflowing. I am very dissatisfied by the service, it was my first and last time using this bus service

I enjoyed how comfortable it was traveling with the bus, but they're driving is very slow hoping the drivers will improve, also how they put the aircon with cold air at night and the early hours in the morning some of us cought flu because of that which makes they're ride not warm and comfortable.
