Pros: The chairs were comfy and relatively roomy. Cons: I liked when they said which stop was coming up each time. They didn't do that on the way back, and I think they should every time. More importantly, parts of the bus felt "loose" and rattled and vibrated a TON while driving, even on flat roads. Things should be tightened up or have padding in between things, whatever can be done. It felt like my skull was rattling the entire ride, made it very hard to sleep and was disorienting, even as someone who doesn't experience car or sea or air sickness. Tips: Bring your own pillows! At least one or two!
