Bus broke down, and the company gave a completely inaccurate estimate for how long replacement bus will take. Because the replacement bus was two hours slower than expected, I had to ultimately ask a friend to drive me to make my flight.

I'd enjoyed everything about the ride. The only problem was coming to the city was the snow on the ground. We had to move slow which made our trip a little longer than what they said it was supposed to be. But other than that, excellent trip. Excellent driver
