Bus from Ocala shd hv arrived at 1040am. It arrived at 1:00. We arrived in Orlando at 2:30 we were moved to slow bus and stopped everywhere. We arrived in Fort Lauderdale by 8:00pm at a very seedy bus stop. Staff not helpful. Buses very uncomfortable and no reading lights. It was an experience that my husband and I will never repeat
