The bus delayed with 1 and half hour without noticing us. Drivers were good and very frendly
The trip was on time and the bus was clean. I wish they could do more for security especially when we stop for bathroom breaks and refreshments. We almost had a crime incident because of no security check for people coming in and out of the bus.
My son was traveling, he was happy with the experience and mentioned the incident about the disruptive passenger that was dropped off at the police station, very impressed with the rules
