Absolutely terrible organisation. The bus was 2 hours late and then proceeded to leave without me. I told them that that was my bus but they refused me.

First it was way over priced for the quality of the interior of the bus it smelt of urine and was very dirty, the driver was also very disrespectful and unhelpful I would not recommend anyone use this service
