According to multiple reviews, customers have expressed satisfaction with the service provided. However, some customers suggest that it would be helpful if the name of the destination was displayed in front of the bus. Additionally, there were concerns about buses arriving without any signs or identification, making it difficult for passengers to determine if it was their correct bus. These issues could easily be improved for a better customer experience.

There was a lot of people waiting for the bus who were not exactly sure of the bus stop. A bus arrived, with no sign on it, not the company or tour name (ourbus), not a destination sign... nothing to identify that was the right bus. That could be easily improved
