It was terrible experience. The bathroom was so filthy and gross. No toilet paper from Tampa. No excuse!! They should have cleaned it and checked for toilet paper before departing. The seat was bad cushion. It sank.

30 seconds late to only bus out for the day. No refunds, exchange for next day cost as much as the bus. Alas, public transit in america is the worst. Next time, I take a lyft.

Almost an hour delay because we had to wait for some travellers coming in another bus and WiFi I send to friends did not arrive. Seats a bit too hard and not enough leg room. Otherwise, very good value. Thanks
