My mum is 75 years old, doesn’t speak English. Explained the driver that she was going to DC. But the driver let my mum out on their stop at Baltimore, saying last stop. Somehow we logged in to her phone tracking account , figured out where she was, my sister drove 1,5 hours Virginia to pick her up.
That was so sad.
