The Dallas bus station is very unkempt and unsafe and the bus was over an hour late leaving

Bus driver was very patient and gave advance notice of stops and time. The lady working the line at the Memphis station was rude.

First Of All, There Were Two Delays Due To NO Bus Driver. I Felt Like The Staff Knew And That They Could Have Had A Driver Already In Route To The Station Before My Bus Arrived For Me To Transfer Buses. I Think It’s Best To Think Ahead Of Time ! And Also, I Feel Like If It’s Cold Outside..That There Should Be HEAT On The Bus. Who Has The Air On In Winter ?

Hot, tasty food No WiFi, which is surprising seeing as I paid over $600 dollars for my ticket. Not fun when I have a UK sim and therefore no way of contacting family back home…. For 22 hours
