Providing transportation to the traveling public is a privilege that we have been serving for many years. In our experience, we have come to realize that occasionally, things do go wrong. Delays do happen and in most cases, they are beyond our control.

Customers Of Size

Customers who are unable to occupy one seat or who compromise any portion of adjacent seating should proactively book the number of seats needed prior to travel. The seat is considered to be the 17 inches in width.

Most importantly, it ensures that all onboard have access to safe and comfortable seating. If you are cannot meet the requirements outlined above, please ensure that you book 2 seats to ensure availability.
