This is the second time I've a bad experience with Jacobs. I booked a bus and they sent a shuttle that had 2 tire bursts while we are on the road, the shuttle is very old and uncomfortable. Not to mention that the driver was very tired and sleepy. One of the passengers had to drive. Such a ridiculous bus rhaaa
