Was told bus was going to come the next hour every time we asked. Arrived four hours late. Had to wait in the rain and cold.

My first bus never came therefore, I missed my connecting bus and had to take another one to another location. When I tried to call customer service, the worker was not even in the country and had no idea that the bus did not show up. She had no clue what time it was in New York.
