The back of the bus was very hot, and the bad smell of the bathroom was very unpleasant. Even though the ride was not comfortable overall, the driver was great! He was very nice and very attentive.

The bus was mostly empty still we were forced to keep assigned seating. I sat beside someone who smelt like urine. Barely any ventilation. Just an overall not great experience. Leg room was nonexistent too.

Bus was overbooked. 6-7 people were unable to ride bus home. I had to push past a couple people because I simply could not miss the bus, I had work the next day. Very unprofessional.
