Overall the system works well. I only would like to suggest to print on digital ticket the final destination of the trip. It makes hard to visualize wich bus is the right bus to board.

I was not able to use your service because when I saw 2:00 I thought it meant 2:00 pm. Nowhere did it say am until I later looked at the ticket. I had to rebook 2 more tickets for 2:00 pm on the 7th. Which should have been listed as 1400.
