Nothing really to complain about during this experience, however in the January trip earlier in the year, the problem that occurred was well managed by the call centre staff member 😀. So the general service which includes the call centre support staff is satisfactory.

Very disgusting. I felt like I was traveling by a truck, very cold for the whole trip. How do you allow a public transport without heating system. People traveling with blankets to prevent cold in the bus. How on earth did you manage to be in our public road?
