What a horrible trip. The bus was delayed for 4 hours due to mechanical failure and instead of changing buses, we had to wait while they try to fix it. At every stop we had to wait for for passengars to arrive which caused more inconvenience. I reached my destination at 01:30am instead of the stipulated time.
