The bus came late and l missed my connecting bus.There is nowhere to track where the bus is and no refunds on your tickets.Very disappointed in your services

The Megabus was a comfortable coach which arrived 40 minutes late - Friday afternoon traffic on the M4! It took another hour to reach Bond St, Bristol. More warning about such a long delay would have been helpful but the journey itself was fine.
