The seats are comfortable and offer enough legroom. The air in the bus is fresh and well tempered. The free wifi and power sockets worked. I also found the passengers very friendly and some nice conversations ensued. Everything was clean and it felt like it had been freshly cleaned. There were no problems and the journey was great.
