They broke my luggage from NYC to tampa. On our way to nyc we was told the bus would come at 615am and they didn't have a driver so they accommodated us on another bus we was grateful. Still arrive to NYC on time.

It was a horrific ride. The bus drivers did not show up and we waited several hours. I missed my appointment. This is very poor management.
