The driving was safe . The only thing l told my friends was to pick me up at Northbourne ave. But it was another place.
Beige M.
Not happy. Bus was late arriving, had to load the luggage myself, and could not understand any announcements the driver made as he spoke too softly and seemed to mumble to himself while the mic was on. I expected a bus station in Canberra and found nothing where we were let off. I had to walk a distance at night to finally find a hotel that could call a taxi for me. I would not take the bus again but had to this time because the train was booked. My comments are based on experience in other buses, not my age!

Bus was too late around 30mins. The start time was 6:00 pm. But, bus was around 6:30pm at the Sydney airport terminal 1. Thanks
