On time

Cons

Long time

Many stops

I could not test the internet. I didn't see any power sockets. The seat was comfortable and the volume was reasonable. The bus driver was friendly. The toilet was only OK, it could have been cleaner and smelled better. The bus was on time. The price-performance ratio is very good because you can't complain much due to the low price.
