Very bad service. Bad communication. Canceled our bus after we waited for an hour and a half.
My seat had a lot of leg room. However, the bus was an hour late and the operator took a while to start letting people in
Felt a little too close to the other passenger, wish masks were mandatory. But understandable the driver can’t enforce it

On time. Allocated seats 9C&9D had less legroom than all others on bus, I am short, 5feet 7 inches but knees wedged on seat in front for whole journey most uncomfortable.
I didn’t enjoy that it was 64 dollars for a short trip. It was comfortable but very over packed
Exact timing and location of bus stop. Seats are allocated. Very comfy seats and clean. Accurate schedule. 👍

Actually comical the level of U professionalism. The driver got lost multiple times, and took the wrong exit on multiple occasions. Completely unacceptable.
Bus was over 15 minutes late, left pick up spot 30 minutes late. We got to my destination almost 2 hours late, granted there was a storm but there were extra stops/breaks not mentioned when we were already running behind, went past the exit we needed to take on the highway.
I arrived over an hour and 15 minutes after the estimated time of arrival. This was a major inconvenience.
