Great service! I wanted to bump my bus ride up and I was told I could board the bus that was currently boarding although I didn’t expect to! And I wasn’t charged a service fee— ZERO hassle!

Bus never showed up and when emailed, they said to just get on the later bus. I was taking the bus because I was going to the airport. If I took the later bus, I would not have made my bus. Completely disappointed with Peter Pan. Do Not Use!

The air conditioning was not working. Bus was so hot I thought people would pass out. Driver said sensor was starting that AC was functioning. Obviously the sensors on the bus were not functioning which to me makes the bus a safety hazard. Bus should not gave neen cleared for use. Never again on Peter Pan.
