The bus arrived an hour late at the pick up point, with no communication sent. And we got to Healdleberg toll gate that weighed the bus. It was overweight with all the luggage that was not weighed prior to leaving. We've been stuck here for 5 hours with no assistance

My bus experience was the worst, we almost died. One of the drivers decided to quit on the road and was arguing with the other one. The one tall dark driver had to drive long distances alone and he was tired even himself. The angry other short driver slept whilst driving. It was a disaster. We were about 3 hrs late
The service is excellent and accommodative to all passengers, with drivers who drive perfectly. However, some customers were not satisfied with the timing. Additionally, there were complaints about the lack of plugs for charging phones during the trip.
The bus arrived very late , bags are not well packed, and they provide very bad service 😭👎👎👎👎
