Ça sentait les toilettes tout le long du trajet. On avait réservé nos places mais des personnes arrivées avant nous les ont prises donc on avait des places nulles. Ça puait et je ne remonterai plus jamais dans un transport de votre agence. Je déconseillerai a tous mes proches également

A good experience in general. However buses should be on time because any delay is affecting directly the flight departures and flights can be missed.
