The bus was delayed by 4 hrs and they didn’t bother to issue out a replacement bus or even to change us and put us in other buses

I enjoyed my journey, the bus was peaceful, the drivers were also good with us and we arrived very early before the estimated arrival time. My only challenge was the bus nearly left us, we were given 05:55 AM, by 05:40 when I arrived they said I am very late and I almost found it gone
