Cons: The size of the seat bottoms, also the USB ports are not sized well. Tips: Flixbus is a bit different , the drivers changed out more often, but they seemed to be more assertive on making sure the passengers are on and off the bus correctly, liked how they kept checking passes and heads.

Pros: I was surprised by the quality of the bus. The seats were comfortable, however you need a sweater because the air conditioning can get cold. I think that they adjusted on the second half of the ride. But I won’t forget long pants and sweater on my next trip. Cons: Everything was great!!! Tips: Bring a sweater, the air conditioning can get cold.
