I thought I hit 5 stars so apologies if I only hit 1. The only thing that seemed like a safety issue was that the ceiling hatch of the bus wasn't actually closed and when we drove through the rain passengers had to jump out of their seats to try to close the hatch to stop rain from coming in
The bus was on time and comfortable except that the Air conditioning wasn’t working at all on the bus. It was like being in a sauna.
Very disappointed they took off without me and left me in Springfield with my belongings on the bus and now I've been stuck here for hours and I don't know where my belongings are
