Great! Fast and efficient booking!
Bus is overcrowded at peak times and have to wait long to get on the bus. The guys managing the bus are generally loud and authoritative.
Buses were relatively frequent which was good. However, none of the buses have air conditioning!!!!! The day we travelled it was over 100°F so sitting inside or on top was unsafe and sweltering! Most of the bus drivers we had were rude and driving was erratic. While we enjoyed the stops, I would go with another provider who offers better service and facilities.
