The seats are more comfortable. These buses are also used to transport students from different schools. During the school year, the pregnant woman and senior citizens need to manage to find a place because these buses are always full, especially on market days. Buses only stop at bus stops as everywhere in any country in the world (signs or shelters). The waiting time is about 15 to 40 minutes depending on the lines.
