Pros: Our driver Breonna Littleton was fun and drove professionally. We arrived half hour earlier. Cons: The paint on the bus didn't mark OurBus. There's no sign on the bus or at the station so we felt quite confusing to find the bus. The other improvement could be indication about stops when and where the passengers can buy food on the tickets so we can prepare well Tips: May bring a coat if you feel air conditioning too cold
