I loved our driver, very personal with all of us. He was patient with All the questions He received in reference to people changing buses. He said something incorrectly. However when he opened the door and the staff said something different. He immediately returned up the stairs, gathered our attention, apologized, and gave the new directions, without an attitude and with the utmost respect.
