According to customer reviews, the bus had an issue with intense air conditioning that made it too cold. Some passengers were also described as unsocial and loud throughout the night.

The bus was way too cold, the air conditioning was too intense. Also the fellow passengers were very asocial and loud the whole night. I would like an option to complain about fellow passengers to the staff.
