Bus arrived late at my destination which was inconvenient for me because I didn't have a taxi to take me home I had to spend more money for a cab whereas for a taxi I would have spent less

I was seated near the back so the urine stench coming from the toilet was unbearable. However the trip was smooth and the drivers treated us very well and were so helpful.
