Everything was clear , simple to find. We had to wait 1hr for our bus to the ferry station. There were 2 stops, it was not clear which one we must get out. A little bit of explaining was better. Driver did not spoke English. Maybe one of the staff of the office could join on the bus.

Waiting time too long. No proper waiting room and most importantly the line before boarding in the hot sun. An roof is necessary
