Pros: The fact that I had the whole back three seats to myself made my trip totally tolerable. I am kinda of an elderly person with sciatica nerve problems and being able to lie down was good. I also found that the seats were decently soft so that was good. I never felt any pain until I got off the bus in Kamloop. So compared to my last bus trip (seats were hard) this one was excellent.
