So sad the bus driver didn’t accept my booking because he didn’t see it on his cell phone. I booked another trip somewhere else. Please give me a credit .

Bus was 2 hours late to destination. Only 1 comfort break over an 11 hr journey. There seemed to be a lot of disorder in seating. Bus itself was not very comfortable. No WiFi or entertainment.
