The toilet was out of order for a bus that was carrying fans back from the all ireland final, who would have had a few drinks of course.

It was good, the seats were comfortable, the price was also good, but autobus nr 40 from Waterford to Cork was chaotic, the timetable inside the transport was running late with bus stops and with the time of arriving on each one and we were trying to figure out it ourselves
