Pros: The bus left on time, the driver was very professional but yet u felt that u would b safe and we were! Cons: The schedule could b more flexible, too long a wait at the bus station just so back relax and enjoy the ride. You are in good hands, the bus is comfortable and u can charge ur devices. I loved the ride. Tips: Booking with Wanderu is very easy and fast. It’s the best thing. The only thing I didn’t like is that u cannot access it on ur smartphone!
