We got stuck on the road last night with a battery that caught fire, and last week my mum was also using your service and had the same bad experience. The bus was late, and they only left past 12 at night while they were meant to reach their destination by that time already. I would be glad if the busses are serversed and looked at cause this is not safe at all
