I had to pay a second time.Driver did not have his glasses on ,so he was very unhelful as he wpuld not type the confirmation number manually.Insisting he wanted a reciept.I showed him my booking confirmation number and the first trip on the 24th a diffetent driver accepted the same proof with no issues.however this driver on 27th would not assist causing a long queque to develop and implying to me I had not purchased a ticket.So I paid double as he qas not prepared to key in my referencw number manually.
