Pros: Everything went well and it was an enjoyable trip, but the bus did arrive ten minutes late and we reached the destination about 50 minutes late. However, it wasn't too much of an inconvenience and I was able to track where the bus was in real-time. The driver was also very friendly and professional. Cons: Making sure the time estimations are accurate. Tips: The bus tracker function is very, very helpful.
