The worst service I have ever received. The bus was 4 hours late with no communication from those in charge. They told me to not get on the bus I was on and I got onto a different bus because they gave my seat to someone else and I had to wait for another bus. The bus then broke down and we spent close to an hour hoping for someone to help us.
