Passengers generally found the bus ride comfortable and appreciated the good service provided by the drivers. However, there were some concerns about long waiting times, high temperatures inside the bus, and non-functional charging units.
Firstly the bus was late, the driver was very rude and didn't want to explain why they were late, the seating was uncomfortable and the bus kept running like it was hitting potholes. A sure bumpy ride
