The bus was very late, and I had to call to find out, but when I made a booking, I received the instruction to be 30 minutes earlier, and when the bus is late no one cares to inform me.

I wasn't impressed with their failure to communicate that the bus will be 3 hours late. Apart from the time management I was happy with the comfortability and cleanliness of the bus
