I'm never going on Eagle Liner again. My mother is even upset and she's already stressed. What about her health? Then we didn't get dropped at the correct location and she was waiting there expecting me. For long. It even made me want to cry and I was so tired. It was like a bad dream.

The bus driver was rude. The bus is old and water would leak in when it was raining. The bus in its entirety is old and made concerning sounds. Very unpleasant trip.
