The experience was great no issues at all, however i am unhappy that the bus arrived 25 minute later than the time stated.
Atleast they should implement a tracker thing on the app so that we can see where the bus is and we can plan our time accordingly.

The bus coach lacked customer service. I had a lot of luggage and trouble putting it in the storage. I had to ask him twice to help me but he just stared and moved on to talk to other people. The bus was clean and comfortable also had a nice cup holder and functional charging ports on the positive side of things.
