my coach was cancelled, no communication between people waiting and staff. Passengers had to wait an hour and a half to get the next coach. Absolutely ridiculous. Didn’t even know it was cancelled until 5 minutes after the departure time, i had already been standing at the terminal for 20 minutes with heavy bags just to wait even longer smh.
