If you are not sure about the route the bus is taking and clear explanations are not given to you as to why we would advise you to go to another company.
Budget
There are so many transport companies to this same destination and each company charges bus fares based on the services it offers, we would advise that you go with the transport company that you can afford without breaking a sweat.
Timing
If you want to get to Dutse early, then you must consider buses with early take-off times. Late buses will cause unnecessary delays which may affect the time you will eventually get to your destination. You would not want to be stranded just because you arrived late and could not get a cab to your destination, would you?
Convenience
Check for extra packages offered by the driving company that will enhance your comfort and convenience. While you are in it, don’t forget that these extra services come with an extra price, but it would be worth it.
