The bus never arrived at the designated location. After waiting for the arrival time, I asked at the Niagara Falls help center, and they told me that it wasn't a FlixBus stop. It was quite an ordeal to catch the bus again.

This is my first trip and I don't think there will be another with this Bus service. I waited with my son in the rain for almost 2 hours just to realise that the bus would be delayed for longer. We had to book an uber to Buffalo so we don't get to miss our flight.
