Anonymous It was a small 20 seater bus. So not the most comfy. The driver was friendly and very accommodated people very well. Even though it was a bigger combi and not a bus, I would take it again. But it would be lovely if they could get the bigger buses especially for Fridays when there is a bigger demand. Again. The smaller bus.
