Good effort in getting bus fixed asap when broke down cant fault that but the trip stricture was very stupid one bus from brisbane airport to brisbane to wait four hours for next bus and it 20 mins away shouldve just let at brisbane city at 1pm would've made more sense, then at central to wait a whole day before next bus so booked coach to take me 20mins after arriving at central to take rest of way... What a waste money for the other ticket but at least i didnt have to wait in a terminal for ten hours. And arrived early to canberra. Wont be travelling greyhound again.
