The bus from Cork was one hour delayed, so we have to stay in Waterford 3 hour. 4 hours too late to Dublin. That’s not ok.

Had big big troubles finding the bus! the given address Lower Glanmire Road isn't helpful at all! Just add 'close to the Cork Kent station' !

There was very intoxicated bus riders that were verbally and physically harassing passengers and besides one stop that the bus driver made to warn them he didn’t do anything. I genuinely think this situation was extremely dangerous for the other passengers with one person even being slapped by one of the intoxicated riders. Was a midgnight bus and could not sleep due to the ridiculous amount of noise they made
