The driver forgot to stop at the airport. But luckily we saw it on the way so we were able to ask him to stop.

Election day so departure was brought forward by an hour, a very understandable situation. Pick-up at the hotel very much appreciated. On the other hand, the van is no longer in very good condition and not very clean. The driver was more often on his phone than on the road.

Since foreigners depend on public transportation, I wish that more drivers could speak some English so that foreigners can ask questions about the trip. This is my only complaint.
