I was very unimpressed with how late the bus left from New Orleans. I waited at the station for three hours on Friday night. There was a massive lack of communication between the staff and the passengers in that area. I also missed my connector bus for a similar reason. I'm thankful to have made it home safely, but unfortunately, I am very dissatisfied with the service I received.

We had an unscheduled delay in Montgomery, AL. For 2 hours, due to the fact that a bus driver could not be found to take us to Atlanta. We were suppose to depart at 3:45am, but did not leave until almost 6:30am. This is unprofessional to say the least!
