Friendly staff and decent driving. Only gripe was bus was pretty filthy with food smeared around window sill.

Great service except for the seat selection. Everytime I use the service, another passenger has been assigned my seat number. Even though I go to the desk and ask them to check my seat number, they just say "just grab a seat". This works fine until the first stop and someone makes me move. I had to move twice on the last ride. The service would be greatly improved if this problem could be addressed.

The bus I booked and paid for did not run on Sundays. So I had to use a different company. In addition, the address for the bus station on your web page was wrong. So I had to take a taxi to the right place - only to take the same taxi back to the original bus station upon discovering that the bus I had booked did not exist.
