Pros: The bus drivers and train conductor were good at alerting passengers when their stops were near by. Cons: Ask people to clean up after themselves. Tips: Be alert and always listen out for any announcements. Also if you take a nap make sure to set an alarm because sometimes trains/buses arrive sooner and you don’t want to miss your stop.
