i was rerouted because the first bus was overheating so we had to wait for a replacement. So i missed my connection. The new route added 10 hours and 2 extra stops onto my journey time. One of my connections was full so made us wait nearly 2 hours for another one. The staff didnt seem to care that i had already been delayed. I should have arrived in new orleans 7 hours ago. Im still on the bus now. I have missed an entire day in new orleans
