Unfortunately a guy was sitting to me who was probably sick because he smelled very bad. I believe it was his breath but it made me feel sick all the way down.

The bus was canceled and never came. I received no notification of the cancelation and instead had to search the bus itinerary to find out.

Our driver was very nice but it was a little disappointing to arrive at Boston since I was attending a basketball game and we were late to the game
