Pros: It was my experience with the bus. But it was not bad. By the way I am checking to find another ticket to go back. Cons: The air conditioning system in the bus. Because the first bus AC wasn’t working. We changed the bus on our way. Tips: Every body was fine.

Pros: The bus driver was courteous & professional. He handled the roads very well. I like that the buses depart as scheduled & pick up as scheduled. Everything ran smoothly! Cons: Maybe do some rest stops so that passengers are able to stretch, smoke, get a bathroom break or grab a bite to eat. Tips: If your assigned seat is already occupied just peacefully find another open seat, it's not the end of the world.
