Well I didn't receive a very pleasant journey. The bus was late and I had to pay a 2 year old child of which I didn't budget for that, so I didn't get a good journey.

It's probably the 4th time now and people are complaining about the lack of communication from your staff and the bus never on time. I personally missed an interview last week
