The bus arrived and hour and a half later than scheduled. Our assigned seats did not exist.

Bus operator gave conflicting instructions on loading luggage, and worst of all, refused to honor seat assignments from the app. Why travel in groups with assigned seating if the operator chooses to disrespect seats assigned 1hoir before boarding?
