This was the most disgusting thing that I have ever encountered. Bus driver was unprofessional. Made 2 stops to pick up 2 different men outside of designated stop areas. 1 hour after departing made a stop in South Hills stating it would be a 15 minute break stop. That break stop ended up being 2 hours. Bus driver never indicated why the delay until I started to question him. He got very belligerent and started using profanity. THIS BUS COMPANY NEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR. BUS DEPARTED 12/2 FROM DURHAM, NC AT 3:05 am going to Washington, DC
