I enjoyed my bus ride but I just didn't like the fact that we had to wait in Kimberly for almost 30 minutes for a passenger that got on the wrong bus.

The person who packed my luggage, even though I was first in line, started with the person who came last. I know it's packed according to arrival places, but he didn't communicate anything with me or help me. The driver later asked us to pick up a ticket that had fallen on the ground so we could put it on my bag and then I he asked me to pack my bag myself. To me it feels like that the assistant did not want to help me
