Its take so long time ,in evry stop its take 25 to 30 min. Sitting is not comfortable,and bus time is no accurate

Very bad, the bus delayed with 3 hours 10 minutes. I asked to be changed to an earlier bus because of the delay but I was told to pay more money although it wasn’t my fault. The buses should be flexible enough to make changes for free to avoid inconveniencing customers when they have delays .
