However, customers also mention feeling safe during their journey and that the bus was clean and fully functional.
I arrived at my destination 80 minutes late. That's more than 36% of the designated time. Surely this is not acceptable. Made more unacceptable by the fact that there was no explanation or apology.
I experienced a similar delay on my journey up.
Other than that I felt safe during my journey, the bus was clean and appeared to be fully functional.
