The only thing I had an issue was the change of bus because the AC wasn't working if this was checked before leaving location it would of been good.

The ride was great and timely, but there was a very unruely child in the seat in front of my seat and he kept throwing his toy back at me and jumping in his seat. His mother was asleep and the bus driver couldn’t have seen what was happening because he had his mirror blocked by his suit bag hanging behind him. All in all it was just a long ride because that child never went to sleep until about 3AM. I guess it was just bad luck for me. The trip was 10:15pm to 4:30am. I will use this bus line again. 👵🏼
