Pros: Available seating and the price was right! The driver was friendly and was excellent at his job of keeping the passengers safe. We arrived on time in spite of what seemed to be a long border check. Cons: Perhaps more assistance in loading luggage onto the bus for senior citizens. Tips: It's not necessary to arrive 2 hours early!

Pros: It was comfortable. The bus was exactly at time for the departure and the arrival. Everything thing was perfect. Cons: Because of the bad quality of the microphone when the driver was talking, sometimes I was badly heard what he was saying. But he was nice and for important things (as pass the border), it was a pleasure for him to repeat what he had said.
