Trip was great, smooth, seamless and on time. But the bus stop in Sydney could have been better marked.

The bus was supposed to leave Sydney at 6:30 am and arrive in Canberra at 10:15 am, but unfortunately, it arrived at Central Station around 7:30 am and reached the final destination later than expected.
