The bus ran much later than was initially quoted, so much so that I missed a good friend’s birthday. Appalling service.

The bus went to the wrong number/labeled terminal at south station and left without half of its passengers. I stood waiting for over and hour while no one let us know what was going on until about and hour past the busses scheduled arrival time.
