The bus in itself was filthy… the drivers didn’t communicate that I’d have to change in to a shuttle in order to get to EL, and they had to switch me over in to another bus an hour away. This was by far the worst experience.

Enjoyed the on board movie. Bus smelled of urine and the break sensor needs to be checked because the breaking was very harsh
