It was horrible, the bus driver was reckless and was speeding in a working construction zone, over 20 miles above the speed limit. The driver would constantly swerve through lanes. Overall the bus ride was horrible, would not recommend to anyone.

The trip was delayed by 2 hours. Connection wasn't possible. The trip that we change it for took 1 hour longer than expected and was also delayed. The connection was 3 hours long in a parking lot, no restrooms, no services. Bad experience.
