Wass just bad joke what the driver did to me, I asked him if this is the bus going in my town and he said NO even if I see the number 737 and is the same like in the ticket ...10 min later around 9:10 I did goo to the tickets desk to ask and he did said the bus comes around 8:55 and left 9:10 so I lost the bus because the driver probably wass distracted from is job to make that bad joke.
