The bus was very dirty and the bathroom had the whole bus smelling like feces and urine. The bus driver almost hit 3 people and couldn’t speak English well. He drove very aggressively and unsafe. Would never take this bus again.

The bus was late and it was very cold on the bus. Uncomfortable. I’m highly disappointed.

Peter Pan worked as it should. Easy to board with my online ticket. There was no staff member available for us to check in but it turns out we didn’t really need to do anything. I wasn’t sure how I would be notified when the bus was there but a line of people stood up at 717 (for the 720 bus) and I asked them. Ans then we were called over a very fuzzy indiscernible PA system. After that it was smooth sailing. Safe driver. Cozy ride. No baggage fees :)

The bus was an hour late and then took 40 minutes at the rest stop causing me to be 2 hours late to my destination. It ruined my trip
