I was suprised that I had to transit in Phoenix. I thought I booked a trip without transition. Everything worked out fine. The staff: driver and people at station are friendly and quick to help / answer any question or confusion.

Rude driver, rude staff, bus smelled like urine, during layover staff told me they need to clean the floor of the bus and that I can leave my stuff inside on the seat. I did, I thought I could get back on the bus few minutes later, the layover in Phoenix was 40 minutes longer that it should and I have never seen my stuff again. They said the bus left back to LA with my stuff in it. Nobody was able to help me because theg were rushing because of the delay.
