The bus was full of dirty diapers , crying babies and the bus driver was very racists. My fare was doubled and my experience was horrible. Never again . I’m disappointed.

Completely unreliable. Over 6 hours late getting to my destination. Staff was kind overall but had no sense of urgency to get us there on time.
