First of all the person who was there checking out the boarding pass ticket said we were not on the list and went as far as saying we can get in the bus. I find it very rude that they saw the ticket and everything and they didn’t even try to accommodate me. I had to ask my husband to step in. Would I book your bus again ? My answer is NO I WOULD NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR BUS EVER AGAIN.
