The driver and staff are always in time, friendly and helpful with the smaller children, eager to keep everybody safe. Thank you for the reliable bus service - we have been to other parts of the world for more than 9 years now, but this bus service is by far the best and most reliable. From my side - it is good, no need for further improvement.
