Big Sky receives praise for its friendly and professional drivers, comfortable seats, and efficient travel times. However, some users noted issues with delays and inadequate communication during mechanical problems. Additionally, there were concerns about the condition of onboard facilities such as air conditioning and toilet cleanliness affecting overall comfort.

I enjoyed the professionalism from both drivers, helping locate the luggage, calling out every stop for some people who are not aware.

I love how open and spacious it is, and I would book it again. I loved the operator's driving and how caring they were about passengers. But I wish they would use jeyes fluid, domestos and pine gel to clean and fight the toilet odour. Overall it's a 9/10
