I wasn’t assigned an actual seat. I was given seat 20b but there’s only 15 rows on the bus so I had to take whatever was open, but besides that everything else was great!

bus was nearly an hour late and we missed our flight Also we left behind a wallet on the bus and when we called there was no way to track it down besides filling out a lost and found report and being told we’d have to wait 2 weeks

Easy process, smooth ride, friendly and helpful employees. Respectful riders, good variety of food in club car. Only negative is that the upholstery on the chairs is quite worn especially on the window side seats.
