Bus drivers have the tendency of stopping on the side of the road during the trip with no explanation whatsoever as to what's going on resulting in delayed time of arrival

There needs to be more hygiene measures and covid 19 care measures. The bus didn't have an inside toilet. The bus driver refused to allow me to use the loo at a nearest garage only let me get off at the designated stop 3 hours later.
