It was the worst bus ride I have ever had the bus driver from thunderbay to sault was passing semis very fast and then around 6am started getting tired and swirving all over the road hitting the rumble strip again and again, then once went right over the rumbles strip and I’m sure if I didn’t scream he wouldn’t have woken ip
