The bus was full up and I couldn't board despite having a ticket for it. I had to wait an hour and a half to get a space on another which was going to a different destination but had to put up with it as it was 05:30 in the morning

The service was good actually. I selected indifferent because I was careless and forgot my water bottle in the bus. It is quite important to me because it was a gift… sad! I wonder if there is a way I can get it back

Would be nice of there were USB ports for charging mobiles in the bus. After a long flight and overall use of the devices on the flight there is not much left for the bus journey.
