The seat was not comfortable enough to push back and sit. There was no leg room to stretch and the experience was horrible.

The Bus Driver was very Professional. She extended curtesy to each one of my fellow passengers. During the night ride, she asked everyone to be considerate by not talking loud-on or off their phones. I would ride with her again!
