Besides having to wait for 25 minutes, the commute was smooth. I was put on the bus instead of a van, but that was ever better - more space.

Thay transferred us from bus to bus, and had a lot of stops for taking and dropping people. But, I must say the driver and the lady were very nice, and stop us for toilet when we asked.
