My trip was for 06h15 on 23 Nov. The bus service called me on the 22nd Nov, to let me know that the bus does not operate during the hours that I booked and told me that the bus will arrive at 03h00 on 23 Nov. I went to the pick-up point on time, and waited for 3 long hours. Only for the bus to have a NO SHOW UP. . . Very disappointing.
