Kelvin Music M.
The bus it was not the premium tipe, the seats and the catering was not the best, even when I pay for a premium trip, the bathroom was dirty also when is a premium trip the bus driver stop to drop some trash and the azafata took a time for a smoke. I am really disappointed. I pay 62€ for a trip in a 30 something € trip. I will like to get some reinvesting, I pay for the premium becuases I took my mother which is 70 plus years old and have some difficulty. I have to write a complaint...
