Very unprofessional staff, little to no update on bus status. 2 hour delay without explanation

We made great timing which i appreciate. Aside from that, a kid was playing a video game with the volume all the way up for the entire trip, and no one (including the driver) said anything. Also, the way in which the seats are oriented makes it impossible to sleep.

They knew my bus wasn’t coming, still had us wait for almost 3 hours to tell us that there was never a driver for our bus. How is that even okay to do to Customers ? It’s the holidays and I was supposed To go on vacation with my family and not I cannot go all due to this unfortunate event. I’m so disappointed
