Pros: No problem at all. Cons: I think it’s pretty good for a travel bus. You get what you expect from a decent bus trip. Although, the driver could drive a bit slower. Nothing major, but it was raining and I wouldn’t drive that fast. Tips: Bring something to keep up you warm. The ac is working lol
