Seats reclined too much, very uncomfortable if the person in front reclines all the way.

Alsa is great,it’s just that this time the bus wasn’t as we expected.No tv or enough space as the other busses,and also there were many many stops that kind of bothered us,but all in all it was okay

The only problem is with the seats, which for me are not that comfortable, and the space is rather scarce.
