Waited at the stance in glasgow that was on the board, along with about dozen other people. Time came and went, asked someone when the bus would be, he said he didn't know anything, 10 mins after our bus should have left asked again and got told the stance had moved and the bus had already left. We were all stranded and furious that noone had told us, people with connections that they would miss.

On time, pleasant driver, kept all wheels on the road, went to the right destination, got us there safely!

The bus experience was fine but the online booking experience was not. There was no button asking if I was a pensioner and time pressure meant I was forced to pay £30 for a ticket although I was legally entitled to travel for free.
