I have been traveling with Jefferson Lines for three years now. It just makes me feel great. Please work on your wifi problem.

I can’t believe that people were smoking in the bus, during the trip, and the staff didn’t ask them to stop. I have taken Jefferson lines many time but this latest trip was horrible. I have smoke induced asthma so I was having difficulty breathing because of the smoking.
