really poor and disappointing experience. Buses and stations were not clean and my bus was 1.5 hours late

James K.

November 8, 2020

I was supposed to arrive in Richmond, VA 10:30pm from Washington D.C at 7:40pm. However, I found myself still in Fredricksburg, VA by that time. This bus was not supposed to have any layovers or stops but it made 3 stops which delayed our bus trip an extra hour. There was no traffic or inclement weather that could have played a role. I think the tickets should be honest about any layovers because it was too late for me to catch my connection.
