Had to wait 1 hour for the bus as there were delays without intimation, the bus was stuffy there was no ventilation, overhead lights and air-conditioning do not work.

It was very cold inside. The departure was delayed and the departure location doesn’t make sense because it took us 40 minutes to leave midtown

The bus didn't have registration. It was pulled over by the cops. We were stranded for couple of hours and entire schedule disrupted. I had to incur costs to make my own arrangements. Awful experience

The soothing sounds of the train on tracks lulling me to sleep while there’s power conveniently placed near by to charge my devices.

Extremely punctual and staf organised the commuters well to at the respective terminals before going down the Lines to board the train. The driver to Boston today, 11.7.22 on our 6.50am train was very engaging in his announcements and a chirpy guy.
