Well, first of all, I noticed several issues with my recent bus journey.
1. The bus stop listed on the ticket (LE19 1HQ) was incorrect; the actual stop was about 0.1 miles away near ASDA.
2. The toilet was poorly maintained, with a strong odor and a non-functional flush.
3. Our assigned seats were occupied by the wrong passengers.
4. The bus failed to maintain a proper schedule, arriving an hour late and stopping for an additional 30 minutes.
5. There was a lack of communication from the staff. Many passengers, including myself, asked the co-driver about the layover time for a break, but he claimed not to know and suggested asking the driver, who was not present at the time.
