At first they re-scheduled my trip to the next day. I had to book again then the next day it was 1 hour late. Didn’t provide any water. Not a good experience

The pick up point was confusing. YMCA was not the pick up point and there were other busses. Maybe a sign on the right spot would help. Construction on the drop off point had to detour the bus. Not your fault but maybe have a secondary spot in case the first is not available
The trip itself and the driver totally awesome.
