Peter Pan Providence Philadelphia recent customer reviews

The bus was late getting to NYC and my connection was missed. I had to run to get the next bus and the driver would not let me on and made me go buy another ticket where I found out that I already had a ticket but then almost missed getting my bus. My $150 polarized sunglasses dropped out of my pocket, running to go to the next bus, and then I had to take an Uber to get to Thanksgiving dinner because I missed my ride. Uber cost me $140. Not only was the second driver, extremely rude, but I feel that I should be compensated for the cost of my ticket to Philadelphia. Hopefully this does not happen on the way back from Philadelphia to my connection in New York.
