Overall ok, but it was 1 hour late and it was cold in the bus because the air conditioning was too strong.

The main problem was that no one in the office knew what time really our bus was coming. They always were just saying “wait, wait”. It ended up departing 1h15min later and arrived to destination about 2 hours later than planned. The trip went ok except for there are no ways to charge phone on board.

They took forever to get us to our destination and made stops for random people who got on the bus while en route. Not the definition of an ideal professional bus service

The person accompanying the driver stomped on my feet ... indicating that they "stank" and that I should put my shoes back on. In addition to disrespecting me by touching me, this was false and the comments I had read about the bus company said the same thing. I find this very average, given that with so many hours on the bus, you have every right to be comfortable.

La personne accompagnant le chauffeur m’a tapé sur les pieds … Indiquant que ceux ci « puaient » et que je devais remettre mes chaussures. En plus de manquer de respect en me touchant, c’était faux et les commentaires que j’avais lus à propos de la compagnie de bus disaient la même chose. Je trouve ça très moyen étant donné qu’avec autant d’heures de bus, on a bien le droit de se rendre confortable.

During the trip at one of the stops there was a strange request from the driver. I had taken off my sneakers and was wearing slippers. The driver began to insist that I put my sneakers back on. I resisted this for a long time, not understanding why I had to do this. But I had to put them on. It made me feel a certain amount of discomfort. The seats weren't soft enough for such a long ride. The design of the seatbelt attachment through the seat was palpable. With the multimedia system in place, it didn't work.

Во время поездки на одной из остановок была странная просьба со стороны водителя. Я снял кроссовки и был в тапочках. Водитель начал настаивать, чтобы я одел кроссовки обратно. Я долго сопротивлялся этому, не понимая, почему я должен это сделать. Но пришлось одеть. Это доставляло мне определённый дискомфорт. Сиденья были недостаточно мягкими для такой долгой поездки. Ощущалась конструкция крепления для ремней через сиденье. При наличии мультимедиа системы она не работала.
