Pros: The driver, Mark was very friendly and helpful with my husband's mobility scooter and helping him break it down and placing it under the bus with the luggage. Cons: To mop the floors on the bus. My floor under my feet, were very sticky and nasty Tips: Be careful on the last step of the bus prior to your feet hitting the ground if your mobility is a bit off, because my husband took a spill on to the sidewalk, trying to get off the bus.
