Very bad the bus was 3 hours late and it was so Cold inside the bus... the air conditioner was ON All The time

The bus was delayed and there was not sort of communication. The bus was suppose to arrive at 09:50am but only arrived at 14:00 if I did not call I would’ve not known

Elaine T.

May 31, 2024

The ride was great. My only concern is that they knew I booked for myself and my daughter but we ended up having to sit on different seats. I think this is very dangerous as my daughter is only 13 yrs old and I constantly had to check to see if she was okay. Since seats are numbered, maybe the liber should look at allocating seats accordingly.
