I didn't enjoy that the bus was late & no one inform me that the bus was running late. Worse there's no offices in Jamestown, and was very cold staying outside with a small baby. But I enjoyed the ride after the bus arrived. There were two busses passed before ours they didn't even stop and tell us that our bus is coming. I feel like they dnt even care. Thank you 😊
