The driver took good care of us and our luggage, which we really appreciated. However, the seating arrangement seemed to be an issue. Even though there were enough seats for everyone, it created unnecessary concern about where people were sitting. This was the only drawback in an otherwise pleasant trip

According to multiple reviews, the service is efficient and pleasant with a fair price. However, some passengers have expressed discomfort when seated on the last row of the bus during long travel times due to being surrounded by people who lack hygiene.
