Bus was over one hour late. Location given was not the location of pickup. Bus driver on the phone a lot driving with one hand. Talking is allowed hands free not while holding it in one hand that is a state law. He had a bus load of passengers.

Terrible experience! Bus was dirty and crowded. The Tampa bus smelled bad and we were dropped off under a highway overpass. Drivers were nice and I felt sorry for them.
