Although the bus was late I understand due to weather issues; overall great service driver got as close to the schedule as possible under the circumstances.

Bus drivers do not wait for reborders, this was my first time trip with a bus and I totally hate it. My bus did not wait for me. Gate numbers ar innacurate on bus stations, no customer service in Saint Louis, I still have no idea where is my luggage. This is terrible, the most terrible trip in my life. Bus drivers do not know directions, I dont know how many bad things happened. But thanks for exchanging my ticket for giving me wrong instructions and leaving me in Saint Louis.
