The bus was 4 hours late. Nobody contacted passengers to inform them. We had to stand in the cold and it was raining, while waiting for the bus. Very poor.

It was 3h delayed at departure. And no one was responding anywhere at calls and no one at the station knew when and 'if' it would arrive at all. And then 5h delayed to destination. It was supposed to be an under 3h journey, but i spent 8 hours in total. Was stopping at each gas station for at least 30 mins, once it was almost an hour. They rejected putting my big backpack to the luggage. And the bus is just disgusting, I've never seen anything as dirty.
