25 mins late. Minibus not obvious and driver did not try to look for us then was sassy when we were double checking he was the right person. Drive itself was fine, comfortable and felt safe.

The bus was 50 minutes late, and there was no information about this from 12Go. There was also no help from customer support. However, the booking process was easy and the pricing was good.

Excellent however - a SUV instead of the ordered VAN - it would be nice to get a confirmation that the driver is on route. Now he was a little late without notice
