I was robbed in my sleep on this bus service - not the bus’s fault but I now feel very unsafe travelling through this company

An hour late left us waiting in a bus stop at midnight. Felt unsafe. Driving was also very fast and felt unsafe too.

Not the bus companies fault but we were stopped by a group of bandits and they robbed all my money.

There was no restroom in the nightbus and we had to swtich busses after one hour.

Naomi B.

March 25, 2023

Was not direct, stopped multiple times and all lights were switched on every time. Meaning it was almost impossible to sleep. Seat allocations weren't followed or enforced by staff which led to confusion among the passengers in the early hours of the morning. Not ideal.
