Staff cursed (F-bombs) in front of me multiple times to other staff. They were kind to me though so it made up for the unprofessionalism I guess. Was supposed to have a 45min layover from 6:15-7:00PM. The bus driver didn't arrive at the station until after 10PM and had to be flown in for our drive. When people inquired about the status of the bus driver...the staff member screamed and asked people to be escorted out. The same woman helped me get my bag from the bus nicely though.
I had a flight out of San Francisco at 12:55AM. Luckily it was cancelled or I would have totally missed it. The bus itself was fine, but my only seat charging plug didn't work.
Overall, I don't usually care to write reviews, especially not negative ones. However, this was really just an unfortunately negative experience and I'd like to help other people avoid it if possible.
