Driver was very rude and inconsiderate. Often berating and having outbursts to every ask or request.
Window was loose and had a massive opening hence the entire night freezing air was coming through and could not sleep at all.
Very cramped, so space for movement, very uncomfortable

My bus was for 11am and it got cancelled 3hrs before departure, I missed all my engagements that was suppose to attend on Sun morning and lost all my money. The bus was overloaded, I could barely move my legs. I was forced to pay extra money for my suitcase that weighed less than 22kg and it was for the 2 of us. According to the T&Cs for APMWC doesn't mention anything about paying for luggage or size of a bag one should have. My experience with APMWC was worse and traumatic, driver was even rude with my daughter and shouting at her.
