Bus was supposed to leave at 4:30 but bus didn't show up. Waited at the bus stop till 5:30 am. No bus was seen. Helpline number not working. No email of postponed bus time schedule. Missed an important meeting because of this.

Suppose to get morning bus . Had email sent to me 2 hours before departure, saying that I would be getting the night bus with no explanation to why. Which led me to pay $130 for a taxi. And a loss of wages. Very disappointing.
