I couldn't have asked for more, the driver was very helpful with directions as it was my first time traveling to DC

The driver George he kept on neglecting my mother and I when we were about to ride the bus at the very beginning. We were in a line to tell our names, however he kept on taking the names of the passengers behind us, and every time I'm about to say our name he takes another one, it's because we're veiled or what I don't know, but definitely this was very unprofessional, he's being a racist??? or what i don't know either, but definitely again this was very annoying, and i would rate him zero stars.
