Tornado Bus Austin San Antonio recent customer reviews

I am a new rider, I don't usually travel via Bus but thought I would give it a try. I planned a 90 minute buffer in case the bus ran a little late but unfortunately the bus was almost an hour late. I missed the start of my meeting in San Antonio. I also felt that given that the bus was "new" it was not clean. I sat in the front row on the 2nd floor and the surface of the bus where the hand rails are was dirty and with dried liquid like from drinks.
