Purchase was easy enough, but seems like it's a little antiquated with needing the paper tickets. Other than that, very smooth and easy.
Zane Zylstra, United States, 21/Jun/2018 -
Purchasing the tickets were easy online but you do have to go into an office to get the actual printouts. When booking online you get a voucher that needs to be submitted. But there are kiosks along the routes which makes it ideal.

Frequency of buses on routes other than yellow could be better
