The bus was an hour and a half late and we weren’t notified about any delays until we had already been waiting for an hour. When the bus driver finally came he was very rude.

No information about the bus on screen at Miami, check- in very slow. Busdriver very organised, but a bit Drill Sergeant like 😂😂 he probably knows why. Seats quite comfortable.

Very comfortable and spacious. Recommend it to anyone. However, the policy should be tweak to allow persons to board the bus even if they are early, instead of waiting outside. But was a great ride
