It was scheduled to arrive 5:45 PM, however ended up being almost two hours late. Lunch break was only 15 minute on halfway, but there was half an hour break in the last hour for no reason because the driver wanted to smoke. The first driver barely communicated what was going on. Passengers were not aware what’s going etc.
