Bus was extremely clean but the restroom was not working. Stopped halfway to destination for a restroom break but I personally could not drink water on this trip or I would have had to use the restroom . No restrooms available at NYC stop and wasn't allowed to wait on the bus had to stand. Was told 8:15 then 8:30 then 8:50. After all that shockingly got to my stop alot earlier then I was expecting.

There no facilities at Providence Convention center to issue us a ticket and the driver was very rude towards us, though he allowed us as last passengers to board.

I missed my bus because the bus terminal changed, and that was not mentioned online.
