Pros: Everything. Lovely and comfortable and warm too. Also great having a bathroom. Cons: The only thing was that the bus did not say where it was going, and the number quoted was not on the outside. I had to go and ask if that was the bus going to Oshkosh. I was looking for the one with the quoted number. Tips: No.
