Adirondack Trailways Saratoga Springs Albany recent customer reviews

The driver was 20 minutes late to my original pickup at Saratoga springs. Which is not a problem. But due to that, my one hour no transfer bus ride. Took one full additional hour past the schedule to get me to my destination. The driver drove to the area of SUNY Albany, then back to troy, instead of just stopping at Collins circle. So basically I watched as the bus went back and forth from my destination, making us be late for an extra 30 minutes.
