Pros: I like how accessible the stops are to main spots in the cities. I liked how nice the staff was too! Cons: The charger underneath my seat wasn’t working. I had to ask an angry couple to move of our seats, I would say have more control where people seat. Tips: Arrive early the bus leaves on time!
