This was a very enjoyable ride. This bus leaves everyday and makes the trip to Greenbay to Madison very easy and inexpensive. I felt like I was on a tour bus. The route was so exciting and I got to see things I would have never known about. The Driver Derrick made the trip! He was so sweet and we had the best conversation. Im used to having delays in travel and the timing on this bus was like clockwork. Very reliable. This trip is a highlight in my travels. I will use this line again when I return. So grateful 🙏
