The only part I enjoyed was where the bus stops for the 15 minutes break cause it was different from Montrose. But the bus stopping a few times and us being told to go to the other buses? That was annoying!

Loud ringing coming out the speakers the whole way down, no toilet paper in the bathroom, my charging port and AC weren’t working, and the driver was rude and didn’t care if passengers held the bus up in Bergview for half an hour. Worst bus ride I’ve been on.
