I had one problem on the bus with a passenger sitting behind me and I felt uncomfortable because he kept rubbing my arm. He kept putting his hand on the side of the seat to touch me.

The bus was an hour late arriving to Newark . Three hour delay in Pittsburgh. Should have been 40 minutes

The trip overall was not too bad because I got to my destination on time, despite being one hour and thirty minutes approximately running behind schedule. I like the drivers, they are serious motivated and I can tell they work hard.
