I didn’t like the fact that my bus was changed from sleepliner to mainliner and I was only informed an hour before departing. I didn’t like the fact that the bus delayed by an hour and to make it worse the charging ports were not working.

I didn't enjoy the fact that the bus was delayed by a whole hour and we recieved no communication was given to us.
Passengers appreciated the presence of leg-rests and charging ports on the bus, which added to their comfort. However, there were some concerns about cleanliness due to a lack of trash disposal options and issues with heating during cold weather conditions. Despite these challenges, having a good driver was noted positively by travelers.
I am truly dissatisfied with the delay that had occurred due to the breakdown the bus had. The staff is adding to our frustration with their bad attitude. Communication was sent late informing us that the bus will be late, no alternatives were made instead we waited for 5hours +. I believe in such cases; there must be a standby bus that is in good condition that will transport passengers, while the one with mechanical failure is being attended to. Please do better, especially with communication. Good thing is that the bus management did realise their mistake and compensated the passengers with full meals.
