Awful robbing company

Took 80pounds out of direct debit that I thought I had canceled now won’t let me refund the ticket

Great App

Easy to use. Can do everything from buying tickets to tracking your bus. Highly recommend downloading for the advantages of planning your journey and the ability to see how far the bus is from your waiting position to make sure you get the best possible idea of your journey logistics.
