The driver was very good. We had some very terrible weather conditions when he had to slow right down and put the flashing safety lights on until the visibility improved. I felt safe because of his excellent driving.

The toilet was out of service for one than the bus driver was very rude with every one on the bus I could not believe that guy what he said

I enjoyed the view and was nice to take a break from driving . What I didn’t enjoy was being told last minute that my trip was over at the airport . The bus driver was kind enough to offer us a ride into town but I declined the offer . I have been travelling on the bus for years and this was by far the worst experience on the bus that I have ever had . Disorganization +++
