The bus was more than one hour late. No information about being late wasn't available. The ground staff was telling will come in 5mins. The bus was crowded, the seats were not comfortable. Not mobile charging spot was avilable.

Very reasonable travel fares. Better for short than tall people due to limited leg room.
