Bus was late, driver pulled too far into train tracks and train guard bar came down and messed up the mirror. We then had to detour to get that fixed (after a stop on the freeway for him to try and fix).

I wasn't terribly impressed with greyhound today. The driver was quite rude and unhelpful with our large bags on and off the bus. The bus smelt of urine. We had to change seats twice to find working seatbelts. It was half an hour late to its destination.
