We spent nearly an hour in Hanoi in a shopping centre car park. We were meant to have a 3.5 hr journey which due to the above was 4.5 hrs

The driver did not communicate with us. Usually the driver messages us on WhatsApp before the trip to verify the number plate and departure time. No message. When we stopped for a potty break/coffee break- he just jumped out of the car. No indication on how long we had to use the toilet or eat. We made it safely and I’m grateful for that. I would just prefer some communication like every other driver I have had in Vietnam

I booked the bus at 13:00. At 10:30 I got a message that I will be picked up at 12:15. When I said I can't make it till then I was told to hurry up or they but me on the 14:30 bus. There was a reason why I booked the bus at 13:00 and not the one at 12:00??
