The only strange thing was that I needed to go to airport and find the bus, and then return back to Downtown. It taken about 1 hour instead of to come directly to Bus station.

35 minute break turned into a 2 hour delay. We weren't even able to get back on the bus and sleep. Not to mention the few passengers who decided that the best time to watch a movie without earphones was late at night wile being surrounded by sleepy travelers.

The best part of the experience was the driver. The station only had one person checking bags and issuing tickets, the kiosk machines were all down..extremely chaotic. My driver was amazing and made the whole trip worth wild!!!
