The second driver drove really reckless. The music was loud and played inappropriate music. They were kids on board

It was so easy. No long waits for flights. No long treks to bathrooms. No lines! I really enjoyed the experience.
There was one inconvenience... Getting off at the first stop, I did not realize there was no last step, and I fell. A lady caught me so I didn't hit the ground. Another lady did something similar, and twisted her arm.
4 out of 5 stars
Susan S.
Loved the fact that they were on time and all stops were smooth along with a very smooth a fast ride. Made it early actually which was amazing! Bad thing the bus driver was kind of rude. We are all adults and should be able to talk as long as it’s kept at a low tone. But to expect us to be in total silence or get put off the bus was a little extreme. Other than that great experience.

It got there in the end , so that’s good.
I had a seat to myself, so that’s good.
The seat was at the back beside the toilet , which stank all the way from New Orleans to Houston. Disgusting
The bus was late getting into NO. It lost more time on route which meant it was over 2 hours late getting in, which meant I have had to reschedule an appointment.
Not really a great experience.
