From Start to Finnish terrible….!!
Sorry to say but dirty seat
@ sticky tray…
4x girls kicked off 2 rows infront of me
The staff handed it well but never ever stopped talking very loud thought the whole journey to one another & I was 8 rows. Bk
The guy to my right opposite had 11x very annoyingly loud calls in some strange language the conversation taking up the whole journey & not remanded once
Then 2 rows behind the driver an Asian guy decided to play his music his way without earphones for the whole bus
On top of that it was a warm nice day outside tho the air conditioning must have been on -8 for 3.5hrs of the journey
I personally asked the driver to turn it off or up
To no avail & then was asked repeatedly by other passengers too to turn it off
Eventually it was heard but too little too late
