They need to learn to communicate if the bus is running late. Had to almost wait 2 hours before the bus pitched up

Toilet dirty, no loo paper, my chair was broken and USB port broken, but for me the worst was the rude driver. Shocking actually. Treated us all like kids, never really helped with anything, many people commented on him today. Sad actually, as my experience before was amazing. Driver could not be nicer and helpful. 😐
