Bus smell of urine, they shoukd constantly disenfact it. Left my bag on board and had the most horrible reception from their clerk Joy when I went to report it. The bus was still enroute to the depo so the bag was definitely still on board. She made MD wait for 2 hours to be told that it wasn't found. The bus I was on was 726. The staff are dishonest so do not leave anything behind.
