Horrible experience. People was waiting in line for 40mins without any notification about why we were delayed. The bus didn’t depart until ONE hour later than our scheduled time.

The place felt understaffed. Not accommodating. Bus was scheduled to leave at 3:35 AM but we left at 06:00 AM. Was late for work.
