Pros: Good driver and also friendly. Had no problems at all. Cons: It was a long trip in a pretty crowded bus, so I think more COVID-19 preventive measures should be adopted, like hand sanitizers, masks, negative tests requirement, there was nobody checking if the anti COVID-19 measures were been followed inside the bus (and in fact they were not). Tips: Wear masks.
