He made sure there was AC for him and his co-worker / girlfriend in front, but didn't ask the passengers about their comfort. In fact, the driver said very little to the passengers. The lunch buffet was average. Eder was the tour guide and did a good job. Bottle water was provided, but not offered by Eder very often.
