I was impressed by how quickly the drivers got us onto the bus and luggage in the hold. Our seats were allocated and it was confirmed by the driver before we got on the bus. It was a smooth journey and I have no complaints. Except that I was in pain because I couldn't get comfortable as the lip of the seat was digging into my hamstring.
