Not only was the bus extremely late , the station was closed. A representative to greet the consumer with supportive answers would have helped.

The bus arrived very late and upon its arrival took a while to leave the station. Passengers had places to be. The bus driver stepped outside to take a cigarette break, when we were already late. I understand things happen, but there should be more of a effort to ensure passengers get where they need to be on time, and they should be notified early on about any potential delays.
