He took more than 3 hours more then planned. I have been bitten by fleas all over my body, the seats were not clean. The driver was unfriendly, left way to late and made long stops.

My ticket had no seat number and they wouldn’t let me on without printing a new ticket. I was only able to do this because a fellow passenger helped me. The staff didn’t care to help.

The drive was smooth but the drivers were a bit rude. My partner and I were split, with one of us put down the bottom and the other at the top. Despite the bottom being half empty, they wouldn’t allow my partner to sit next to me. There was also no wifi.

Buses clean, nice drivers and handlers. But the name of the company was very hard to find. I had to ask 3 people to find the correct ticket booth. As the name on my paperwork did not exist at the ticket booth. The booth was under a different name.

I didn’t enjoy the fact the bus was late and no information was given about when it would arrive and the fact that we arrived over 2 hours later than the specified arrival time.
