It was overall a good trip just a couple of points could have been better
The driver didn't speak English
The aircon in the cabin was bit to cold, it was a cool day so maybe the setting could have been changed
The cabin lights were not switched on until we arrived Santos bus station which made the stairs quite dangerous
The boarding gate shown on the ticket did not exist So that caused problems for us

Very good service and comfortable bus. It was really good that the journey included one longer stop. Otherwise than the bus being one hour late, everything worked perfectly.
