The bus was due to arrive at the main station at 10:15, but it didn't show up. The next departure was at 10:45. The bus did not arrive at this time either. It wasn't until 11:30 that the bus finally arrived. :-(

I ( stupidly) purchased the tickets ahead of time online. I saw senior and selected it, not knowing it left the adult also preselected. So I accidentally purchased 1 senior plus 1 adult for me. Then the pickup point 2 was jammed but to no avail because the bus and the next bus was full from stop 1. So I walked to stop 1 expecting to get on there. 2 hours later for a 30 minute loop and still no bus. I never got to ride it at all and payed for Senior and adult.
