The coach left on time and once in the terminal it was easy to find the bus. The bus was comfortable and the driver was extremely polite. It was however not straightforward to find the entrance to the terminal - I entered from the car park area as there were no signs for pedestrians.

Riaz A.
Very good value for the money paid for the ticket
Giuseppa G.
No air conditioning, the bus was uncomfortable and the seatings were very loose (when the driver accelerated they moved backwards). We had to change busses on the last few minutes and arrived much later than supposed.

The bus was late. But the big problem was the lack of AC. It was so hot I couldn't bare it.
