Pathetic time schedule, no time sense at all. The bus was more than 3:30hrs late.

I was forced to sleep on cold metal hairs at the station! bus was supposed to leave at 10.05. it was moved to 10.50 and eventually cancelled at 11.45 pm. I had no option but to sleep at the station. no apology no explanation. just an announcement that the trip has been cancelled. in the morning , I was told the next available bus at 7am was full. I was to wait for the 8.30 bus to Detriot which is longer with more transits. this is my worst trip.

The station staff was not friendly which was probably because they were overworked and the communication between travelers and staff was unorganized. The bus drivers were friendly.
