Pros: The staff made the trip pleasant and comfortable.i had read negative reviews before traveling,but I decided to view on my own merit.👏🏽 I was pleased with the staff and drivers of the vehicle.👍🏽. Cons: Uumnnnnn,maybe the overall condition of the lave……..but the driver did make several stops to accommodate all passengers aboard the vehicle. Tips: Yes,make your own assessment…..do not adopt the negative feedback as correct.Travel with a sweater or blanket,because as the bus load decreases……it could get a tad chilly…..but make ur own temperate environment.👍🏽 Stay courteous and pleasant and you will get that in return from other travelers(regardless of any language barriers).
