The service was satisfactory overall, but customers were disappointed by the lack of a charger on the bus. Some passengers also mentioned discomfort due to cold temperatures and unresponsive bus drivers regarding adjusting the air conditioning.
The bus was delayed for 3 hours. The seats were broken and extremely uncomfortable. Horrible experience.

The bus time was accurate, however, the condition of the bus was not welcoming. It was cold with no heaters and windows are not proper to restrict cold air from entering.

While everything from staff to hygiene to speed was superb, the bus needs to arrive on time. In addition, if there was a problem, customers need to be made aware than wait in ignorance.
