The bus arrived before the stipulated time and did not bother to call me. I then asked at half past 6 where the bus was from the Eagle liner bus driver and they called and I was told that the bus was already m Grahamstown, which is roughly two hours away from Port Elizabeth and my bus ticket was for 5:35am.
