I asked the bus driver about the trip and of its the right bus. He told me yes and I need to wait. He jumped in to the bus and said it's not the right bus. And I missed my bus...

Our bus was late about 90 minutes. After that half way through we had to change buses at 4am. The new bus didn't have AC and it was super hot.
