Cons: The problem was that someone else and the one next to me took my seat. He had a nasty attitude, so I just sat somewhere else. Then, that seat was also taken by someone else, and I had to keep moving from seat to seat until the final stop. I think it would be good to have some supervision on this matter. Other than that, everything was great. Thank you. Tips: .
