- Comfort is missing- Poor wifi- no multimedia- too lateIt took a while for the bus to arrive. There is wifi, but it is very weak and doesn't do much. The bus driver drove too fast, but we arrived later than we should have. The toilets were clean, but they were constantly occupied. The service was friendly. There was no legroom.
