Both drivers were so kind and helpful. Please add or put in nets behind each sit so that we can be able to put our snacks while we on the go

The trip was OK however, We recommend that there should be two drivers incase of unforseen circumstances. When we stop we buy food and sometimes that can affect the drivers well being so if there's two drivers the other can take over
