I enjoyed that the bus was not too late with time upon arrival. But the experience on the bus was HORRIBLE. It was freezing cold and the bus driver was speeding like a maniac. I could see my life flashing by. Absolutely horrible. Horrible driving! There was cold air in the bus all night and people kept complaining but nothing was done about it.
