Barons Bus Lines

Pros: Enough space. Everybody had a double seat for themselves. Cons: Internet is not good enough for streaming. Give out better information on where the busses currently are and of they are going to be late or not. Tips: Be there at least 10 minutes before departure because they will start boarding 20 minutes prior.
