It's not their fault maybe, but our second trip on July 6th was painful. Driver had to turn around for the passengers that were left at the last stop. Then our first trip on July 6th, was definitely unbearable. I understand she was a paying passenger but man, there was a homeless lady who stunk the whole bus from NYC to Syracuse.
