Terrible. The bus broke down on the freeway in the dark. Had to call an uber to rescue me. It was quite scary.

It was a good trip as far as getting myself to where I needed to be on time. However it's what I received afterwards that I'm not happy with I left a pair of skates on the back of the bus calling right away to inform the bus driver and the company I was told I was receive a phone call regarding this matter within 24 hours. I did not or have not since then
