We were surprised that the station in Sarasota had no inside space. The station was not very well marked. We weren't sure if it was just a city bus stop or the one we were supposed to be departing from to Orlando. The bus from Sarasota to Tampa had air conditioning that didn't seem to be working, water dripping on the seats, and very tight overhead storage places. They broke a roller on one of our suitcases.
