Bus was new and clean, sounded mechanically roadworthy. The staff was professional and we arrived on time at our destination even though the bus was an hour late arriving at my departure point. The complimentary bottled water, wifi, aircon, phone charging ports and on-board toilet make for a comfortable trip.
