Terrible, no answer when phoning, offices was closed when trying to change departure, I lost my money as i couldn't make the bus and were unable to change departure date due to non existant customer service!

Booked a bus ticket for my mother for 4:30 AM. I was called the day before departure with regards to the bus being changed to Intercity Express but no official email was sent. The bus arrived 3 hours late and there was no communication with regards to the delay. Called the customer service and no one answered. The agents on WhatsApp take time to respond to messages. For my first time experience, the service was extremely disappointing and appalling.
