The bus was there but we were told the bus driver is running late. we ended up wasting lost of time waiting

the bus was producing a fume that was making passengers (myself included feel sick). The driver ultimately found out that it was coming from the rear. We had to open the emergency window for some ventilation. It was quite suffocating. The rest of the trip was freezing (due to the open window).

I had a number of bags. I needed help. I know it's not their job, but they can help passengers. I had to carry about 7 bags alone, one by one. Sometimes it's someone's personality to be kind though.

My Peter Pan trip was before time! I arrived before 2pm for a 3 pm bus and, since there was plenty of space, the driver accepted my ticket. The bus was clean, express, and arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule. The driver communicated what we needed to know. It wasv easy to book the ticket online.
