My journey, wasn’t. I waited in the freezing cold for a trip I booked a week earlier only to find out by another traveler that the trip has been cancelled. I didn’t receive any emails stating this information. So my trip was a No-Go and o had to pay additional money to take 2 buses from other companies instead of 1 from here to get from Wausau WI to Milwaukee WI in time to catch a flight.
