The bus were nearly 4 hours late without notifying me I had to phone them to find out what's going on disgusting

I had a very pleasant trip.The bus was on time..The drivers very helpful and they drove safely..The only thing is the dirt of the passengers that they left behind in the bus on the floors So if you can provide some dirt bags and announce to them to place the dirt in da bags and not on the floors. It's also the passengers responsibility to keep the bus clean..Thank you for a safe trip
