They dont have good management of customers expectations. People got on the bus with the wrong ticket and a child had not paid the fare, which led to delays.
The bus driver was texting while driving and swerving on the road. He drove very slow and was rude to the passengers
The bus is not confortable for a long journey. The seat is very hard and there is no curtains to close the outside lights. Thanks.
