Dian J.
The drive itself was fine. The driver was good. The disorganization of the process both in NYC and Albany was so bad that I decided to disembark at the non-station rather than wait an indeterminate time to go to the Amtrak station where I had planned to be picked up by my friend. The process is always improved by communication, which was seriously lacking. It was not the drivers fault, but she did little to alleviate the mis communication.

The girl who receives information about purchased tickets was very rude to me. I tried to inform her about the problem I was having with the ticket I bought. She didn't want to listen to me, and I had to pay for my ticket again.

I received a text 1 hour 15 min prior to scheduled departure that the bus would be delayed 4.5 hours. I had to buy another ticket with another company to travel earlier. Not a reliable bus company.

Our bus broke down. I know that things happen that’s ok but the driver was very rude and unprofessional and made the whole event worse.
