Passengers generally find the bus service comfortable and cozy, with good communication from drivers and timely arrivals. However, there are some concerns about maintenance issues such as uncomfortable seats due to faulty controls, non-functional charging booths, restroom odors affecting comfort at the back of the bus, and air conditioning leaks.
Passengers appreciated the presence of leg-rests and charging ports on the bus, which added to their comfort. However, there were some concerns about cleanliness due to a lack of trash disposal options and issues with heating during cold weather conditions. Despite these challenges, having a good driver was noted positively by travelers.
I am truly dissatisfied with the delay that had occurred due to the breakdown the bus had. The staff is adding to our frustration with their bad attitude. Communication was sent late informing us that the bus will be late, no alternatives were made instead we waited for 5hours +. I believe in such cases; there must be a standby bus that is in good condition that will transport passengers, while the one with mechanical failure is being attended to. Please do better, especially with communication. Good thing is that the bus management did realise their mistake and compensated the passengers with full meals.
