Bus was two hours late with no updates of delay. Employees were very nasty and rude.
I C.
Bus was an hour late and they closed the Terminal so we had to sit outside in the rain while we waited. Someone brought their dog on the bus and it kept barking.

There is bad smell in the bus. Full of smoked smell.
