It was my first time using a bus … it was a bit late and there was no communication of it being late . The toilet bowl was full of urine I think it shout be emptied at every stop . The driver was great

The trip was great the only unfortunate part is that the bus connection part was highly ridiculous because I had a 6hour gap between my trip but otherwise keep up the good work
