Megabus Oxford Manchester recent customer reviews

It was really pathetic and heart aching how I was treated by your customers' care service when I contacted them. I was in the Bus Station 10Minutes before 11AM, the departure time, but there was no bus to be found at St. Giles, Oxford. I had depression, because it was my first time in the UK.
