strengthen security because yesterday there was a family who was on the edge with a weapon but fortunately someone reported it and the police intervened and the two individuals were arrested by the New Jersey state police and the shower which is in the bus there must be water inside to wash your hands after use otherwise the comfort is good 👍🏽
