Both drivers were fantastic! Bit of dilemma when we switched drivers as the bus stopped working, but within 30mins, they were able to fix it and we were on our way again :) plenty of stops for passengers and drivers.

The bus screams free wifi and outlets, but the outlets are broken and the route is too remote for the wifi to work. Had to stop several times for logistical issues. Driver did his best.
