First if all. I do not understand why commuters should arrive 30 min before but then the bus arrived 30 to 45 min later, I was in a panic mode , phoning the office every minute. Then thereafter the bus stopped for at least 2 hr 20 min at Parkstation. I found extremely shameful and inconsiderate, rude and unprofessional.
Please lets respect time

During my journey, the drive itself was uneventful, but the unpleasant odor emanating from the onboard toilet significantly impacted the overall comfort. The strong smell made it difficult for everyone on the bus to breathe comfortably
According to the users, Intercity Xpress is appreciated for its punctuality and overall service quality. However, there have been mentions of being transferred from one bus to another during trips. Despite this minor inconvenience, customers generally express satisfaction with their travel experience on this service.
The service is very bad. We were told the bus is boiling and had to wait more like 30 minutes for another just after the Grasmere garage. And 10 minutes breaks were 20 minutes break and some of us were in a hurry.
