No bus came and I was at the transfer station from 10pm for pick up at 10.45pm. I waited 2hours. and I had to leave in a taxi to union station to get another bus at 4.15. Really unsafe place, on my own waiting, no wifi. Thanks to the awesome person in the shell garage, I managed to get a taxi and stay safe in the shop. Really disappointed.
