Given the wrong pick up point. Driver refused to place our bags in lockup. Bus roof leaked = waterfall over top deck passengers.

We were in the last row in the upper floor. The temperature in that part of the bus was around 35 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the bus was late so it was speeding during the last hour.
