Tight sets, tight space for bags above head, therefore no bags were able to fit.

The bus was 3 hours late. We only received an email an hour before the scheduled departure that there will he a 90 minutes delay. However, when those 90 minutes passed, no one told us anything about where the bus is. The driver was also very clueless.
