I loved everything about todays service expect for the assigned seats. This would be good if all outlets were a middle ground for all patrons but some outlets are placed by window seats making it inconvenient if two people assigned to sit together need to use it.

first the bus was delayed and the bus driver was very rude. when i got to the bus station in new haven i had to wait more than an hour just for the bus driver to tell me that she can’t drive any more. i had to pay for an uber to hartford instead because the bus driver didn’t finish the trip.
