I didn’t enjoy anything, the bus smelt of urine the whole trip! The toilet was leaking and passengers were walking on urine and covering their nose the whole way! The driver was sleepy and kept on dozing off, passengers had to talk to him to prevent any accident

I did not even embark on my journey as the bus(intercity) cancelled the trip and moving us to the next day without any communication whatsoever! I tried getting answers the customer service people were so rude and not remorseful or to even apologize for what they did. I'd not even recommend this bus to anyone
