My brother had to leave at 19:30 but instead they didn't want him to get into the bus. He departed at 02:00 in the morning and he had an exam to write in the morning
Users have highlighted that the bus service is generally punctual and appreciated for its professional and friendly drivers who adhere to rules.

It was cool and all that, however I didn't like that the seats are so close to each other my knees needed to be stretched.😭 Everything else was cool though, and their service is alright.
