So yeah, my 1st bus was 3 hours late, making sure I missed my connecting bus. They gave me a new ticket for another bus that left in 2 hours. How late was that bus? I couldn't wait around to find out after the 1st hour. I was already going to be late to work. I paid for a rental car on top of my bus fare to get home.

We missed a train to change because of the bus we took running late. We ended up waiting for 4 hours to take another bus going to our destination. In addition, we had to pay $20 per person to get the alternative seat. It was very disappointing. We will never use your bus.
