Bus was very late - Understand some things cant be helped but was given very late notice about the delay despite it being well over an hour. No sense of urgency afterwards.

Bus had broken down so I had to wait in cold and rain for more than one hour, alone in an industrial area at night which did not feel safe. Office was closed so it was impossible to find out why the bus wasn't coming and when it would be expected. Very poor service.
