I got the updates of my late bus ride very late, I don’t know if it was my network connection or their communication team forgot about me. Time estimated for the delayed bus ride was not accurate which resulted me being late for my flight

It arrived 45 minutes late. With no courtesy of apologizing or sending a text to warn us. The driver was also rude and condescending.
I was also charged full amount for my 11 weeks old son!
