The bus took off an hour and a half late. It didn't have internet nor electricity

There was no one manning the "station" which is just a parking lot. But was late, itineraries changed. The worst bus I've ever been on.

The bus was over an hour behind schedule on a Sunday for the second week in a row. I ended up not even taking the ride and renting a car because the arrival was too late. It was been a terrible experience riding greyhound in the south, and the quality of busses aren't even as good as they are in the northeast region.
