Pros: the timely arrival, how kind and entertaining our bus driver was (and how he kept us informed and communicated well throughout the trip, really appreciated him!), also the giant windows were awesome for good views. Cons: the adherence to social distancing: i wish that each two seater was reserved for one person, i know that the company would lose out on money this way, but the bus was packed to the brim and i didn’t realize we’d be in such close proximity to others, i felt uncomfortable even taking sips of water. Tips: make sure you get there early because window seats are much more comfortable than aisle seats.More
