the two cases, you should have your reservation printed and show it
to them, so that they confirm that you will be on the bus.
Afterwards, you will have to be at the company's window 10 minutes before the bus leaves; they'll call out everybody's names, and then accompany you to where the bus is parked. In the meantime, you can change money, drink a coffee, or do whatever you like, you don't need to wait by their window.
