Na viagem para central midi não houve nenhuma organização. Todos os viajantes numa única fila. No site fala em marcar horário, mas não se cumpre.

Very good service, smooth drive, but windows could be free of that layer which prevents a clear sight.

Bus service from airport was every half hour and when a flight comes in it's very busy and not all travellers can get on the bus. So it would be helpful for busy flight arrivals to have more than one bus available
