Good staff, especially the person who checks the tickets at the entrance of the bus. As for the route, I think it takes a long time at each stop and a lot of time is wasted.

We waited a long time for the blue route to start at stop 1 after riding the red route. It was not worth the 45 minute wait, as half the stops duplicated with red and the others were not worthwhile.

Bus was fine and it seemed to cover all the main points, buying the tkts was easy but there is not enough detail on the pick up points exact location .... bus audio worked well and we were quite happy

Very friendly staff. Despite the chaotic traffic, you can get to almost all the sights without any problems. However, the sockets for the headphones need to be replaced. Several worked poorly or not at all.

Plenty of space on the bus, commentary particularly the blue line was interesting. We took the first bus of each line and these were on time. In terms of negatives, I think the route misses out some really good sites that I saw the yellow line drive past e.g. cathedral, Quattro.
