The situation on board is...

The situation on board is quite chaotic. There were simply too many people on board to get a seat. Also, if you are travelling with people staying in different parts of the city, you’ll need to separate your bookings to get 2 pick ups - Otherwise you will be charged extra for additional pick ups
