Their toilet/the toilet was not in a user friendly state and it made travelling with a child very difficult.

I would like to bring to your attention that during my recent trip, the bus air conditioner was not working, and it was very cold inside. This made the journey uncomfortable.

Bus drivers did not even know where to leave us. How can a bus driver ask travellers for directions. Most of the times, us as passengers depend on them for safety.
They left me on the road in a very dangerous place at 1am. And the bus arrived 3 hours late to my destination.
They have stops that are not communicated to the passengers😭😭😭 I would never take this bus ever ever again

Everything was just horrible. The drivers were doing as they please. They deliberately delayed us, and when we called them out they gave a nasty attitude.
