The driver was not speeding and the bus arrived in time for pick up. What i did not enjoy they should switch oof the tv because at night most people are asleep so that light from the tv it disturbs us.

I did not enjoy anything, I experienced the worst inconvinience.I am still on the road, the bus delayed by 4 hours. No apology was tendered. We waited in a dark station, feeling hungry, cold, unsafe and vulnerable to the thugs. I strongly feel we deserve a formal apology for such an inconvinience. Imagine a bus that was supposed to leave at 23h15 leaving at 03h30 am. I am very much disappointed
