The passanger was suppose to get on the bus at 6pm in PE. He got there at 17:30 and the people told him the bus already left. Now he is still in PE and nobody wants to assist us.

I enjoyed nothing because the bus didn't appeared in time. We've been waiting for 2h from 3:30am to 5:30am. Nobody replied my calls to the customer care and even on whatsapp. I had to take a taxi to PE in order to get my flight in time. I demand a refound
