I would like to thank the driver who was 100% concentrating on his job, that was to ensure we all arrive safely at our destination. Well done sir! Thanks a lot!!

Very very bad experience..Extremely bad indeed.😔 The Delta bus stopped in the middle of the way due to it's problem. Driver told us it has power problem,it can't travel more. We waited almost 3 hours before the other bus came. I fail to understand why can't your service inspect the bus first before allowing it to travel? 💔..That's a bad move.What about our safety? What about our time? That's not good at all.
