Niranjan T.
I was forced to sleep on cold metal hairs at the station! bus was supposed to leave at 10.05. it was moved to 10.50 and eventually cancelled at 11.45 pm. I had no option but to sleep at the station. no apology no explanation. just an announcement that the trip has been cancelled. in the morning , I was told the next available bus at 7am was full. I was to wait for the 8.30 bus to Detriot which is longer with more transits. this is my worst trip.
