Late - depot wouldn’t pick up. Driver was rude and when a passenger asked for help because the door was stuck she audibly sighed loudly and grumbled childishly. She needs a vacation…

I will not be taking rider express in the future. The bus was forty-five minutes late and unreliable. It is dangerous to wait in such cold weather for so long.
