Icon- Comfort is missing
Icon- Poor wifi
Icon- no multimedia
Icon- too late
It 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.
