The bus was 90 minutes late and there was nobody at head office that knew anything about when the bus might arrive, or where it was enroute. We waited on an open platform with windchill of minus 15 degrees C for 90 minutes. If we had known about how long the delay was going to be, we could have taken shelter in a nearby coffee shop. But we were afraid to miss the bus that simply wouldn't come. This is 2020 and should not be happening. Never riding with this company again!
