The driver was not concerned with the passenger comfort/safety experience. Locked us in the van while he took a smoke and bathroom break. He picks up extra passengers and sat them in the aisle on little stools.

Driver managed to fit 23 people onto a 16 seater bus, an impressive feat, but did not make for the most comfortable ride. Got me where I wanted to go in the end.
