We were notified of the 30 minutes late departure but not about the initial problem causing departure change, this bus took us to Park station put us on another which then brought us back now at 20:05 it was such an inconvenience because now we must make new transport arrangements at night which isn't safe. I'm very disappointed

Bus arrived late at my destination which was inconvenient for me because I didn't have a taxi to take me home I had to spend more money for a cab whereas for a taxi I would have spent less

I was seated near the back so the urine stench coming from the toilet was unbearable. However the trip was smooth and the drivers treated us very well and were so helpful.
