I didnt enjoy the filthy bathroom and the driver didn’t speak English so he yelled thinking it helps us (the passengers) under him better but I we didn’t.

It was my first time with Wanda. The bus is not so clean but the worst part is the communication and location where it parked. My departure is 7 pm and they arrived at 8 pm without notification that it would be running late. The bus location to pick up is not safe and for women, and girls waiting that late in that part of DC (Benning Rd NE)is a huge No! 8pm.
