The driver nice and professional , the bus nice and comfortable and on time.Some other passengers had occupied our seats- both passengers and a lot of luggage , and did not move. I did not want to make a scene- my husband and I found two other seats.

I arrived to bus station 1 min early on 2/19/2023. Bus was already turning first corner. I missed work and had to stay one more day and night. There was also other passengers that missed the bus as well.
