Bus arrived late, we were then out on one bus for half an hour to another destination and then had to get on another bus. The seat in front had a women and three children in it. The children were loud noisy with two on the floor overnight. The bus driver smoked in the bus throughout the journey which made me feel sick and he played music overhead which I thought was wrong in an overnight bus where everyone just wanted to chill and sleep.
