Bus showed up an hour late without functioning AC. An hour into the trip the bus broke down and we had to wait two hours for a replacement, we were a total of 4 hours late to our destination. Never again.
my bus was canceled, there was no information about it, I did not get refund for the ticket
The bus really smelt of toilet and the air conditioner was broken. There was a window that the staff were not happy for us to open.
