Very poor, it was disgusting Actually, the trip ended in east london instead of Butterworth no fare to complete the his trip , he had no money to finish the trip and ended up sleeping at petrol station in this cold and rainy weather

The bus is warm and comfortable but the route planning was a disaster. We have to wait in East London for an hour because the bus they offloaded us onto had no diesel. We arrived to our relative destinations 3hrs later.
