I spent 30 min waiting in the drizzling rain only to be driven right past me. I ran after the bus, only to have it turn away from me. It circled back around the block and the driver blamed me saying I wasn't standing waiting for him, which was a lie, I got up as soon as I saw the bus headlights.

First off the bus was late arriving at the pickup point. The pickup was 8 pm and he showed up after 8:30 pm. The driver seemed incompetent to figure out his route either via his navigation on his phone or whatever he was using. Every stop was an adventure. We arrived at our destination over an hour late because of his incompetence

The bus was on time. However, I was looking for bus 2548 (think that was the number) although a different bus showed up. How would I know that was bus I was supposed to take since it’s not what my ticket said. Thankfully a bus driver who I asked a question from on another company told me to ask
