The toilets were smelling so bad, and I was coerced to sit next to them in order to accommodate a mother and her child

Marcia S.
The bus is very spacious and convenient as it has toilets inside. The drivers also were helpful in assisting with allocating seats as I had a 4 year old and we couldn't sit apart therefore they made away for us to seat together.
It's been a great journey.
Users have noted that the drivers are professional, even in challenging conditions. However, there are concerns about delayed buses and difficulty reaching customer service. Additionally, some users feel that the buses could be updated for better comfort as they lack toilets and heaters.
I waited two & half hours before arrival of the bus. I made several attempts to get hold, (both email & telephone)of client services with no success. The bus don't match the price I paid. I was shivering all the way till I reach my destination. With what I experienced, I'll never recommend the bus to anyone
