Every traveler needs to know that the last 10 miles of the trip at that hour of the morning takes as long as the initial 100 miles. Great driver but was faced with the disaster of early morning gridlock

I didn’t get to use my pass that I purchased. My plane was late, and it was a 2 1/2 hour difference to get the next bus. So I had to forfeit the fare and buy from another company. AirCoach left in 20 minutes.
