The reviews highlight a generally positive experience with the bus service, noting comfortable seating and friendly staff. Many passengers appreciated the clean buses and safe driving practices.

Additionally, there were mentions of inadequate bathroom facilities leading to unpleasant odors during travel. Despite these challenges, many travelers found their journeys enjoyable overall due to courteous drivers and attentive service.
For one the toilet couldn't be utilised 100% passengers were instructed to do number one only, unfortunately there was a lady who had a runny tummy so we had to make numerous stops to accommodate her. Secondly I'm not sure if the bus had a clash with a small car the bus stopped the drivers got off with out saying anything to us even when they got back. Thirdly we were supposed to reach our destination at 5pm but we arrived an hour later.
