Easy to get your tickets and paperless. Staff doesn't speak English. It's okay, but it makes it a little harder to communicate. Driver was super good. Really professional.

I enjoyed everything except the lack of wifi. I was unable to provide the appropriate answer to the driver regarding our terminal. Christian themed movies are also divisive for many.

It was a good trip. Was expecting a full size ADO bus but it turned out we were in a small mini-bus style (16 seats). It was reasonably comfortable. We would take the bus again.
