The bus I had booked was over 2 hours late. The consultant at Intercity Xpress had me on a different bus, one that I did not book because the offices were apparently gonna close before my bus which was late arrived. The bus I used (Eagle Liner) was very uncomfortable with low ventilation.

The bus drivers need to communicate, example if they know the 22:30 bus will be late or full they should allow passengers on the bus on the 22:00 bus, instead of leaving passengers stranded, yesterday we had no space in the bus when it arrived at 23:30, we had to be patched in other buses.
