Users have noted that the service was generally satisfactory, but there were some concerns about the size of the buses. The smaller vehicles led to limited space and comfort, which could be challenging for passengers with breathing difficulties due to restricted air circulation.

Good overall but did not expect the mini buses instead of a proper coach. Space was quite limited.

The bus was smaller than what we expected so it was really uncomfortable and tight. There's no windows on the coach, circulation is limited and for someone who has breathing issues it was a struggle.
