Bus was comfortable. However they said the air wasn't working so they opened the roof vent and we were blown to bits until another driver took over and I asked to have it closed...he turned on the air which seemed to work fine.

I was fortunate to ride on one of your new buses and that was very nice. The driver was professional, and also I appreciated that he went over all key points besides our seat belts, items in overhead, alcohol,smoking etc.He also mentioned for respect for all passengers,using headphones when using our devices and not using speaker on cell . The driver was polite but clear on all points and I appreciate that as I find sometimes drivers are not consistent with those points.

First and foremost the drivers were very pleasant and helpful. I really did not have any complaints to pass on...the scenery was beautiful to look at and the fact that I did not have to drive made all the difference.
