The bus was dirty, it even had cockroaches. I’d appreciate a clean bus when I travel . It’s outrageous really how dirty that bus was. Why check the tickets in Heidelberg? Why not check them when we enter the bus? None of it makes sense.

The bus was not like the regular buses travelled. It was small and did not look roadworthy to do a national trip. In addition commuters were allowed to buy cash tickets on the spot who were intimidating those who had purchased tickets already, there was congestion confusion and made commuters irritate with each other. There were commuters consuming alcohol and no supervision or direction by driver of the chaos. Bags had no tickets so other commuters were pushing out bags to accommodate their own bags. Finally for my mums (74 years) safety, she aborted the trip. Very disappointed
