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.
