The driver did not where he was going. He was swirling. We was late to every stop. We had to give step by step directions. He barley could see the road signs. He should not be driving at night. It was the worst ride of my life. Never again. He definitely needs to stick with a route he knows.

Bus driver drove like a maniac, was swerving between lanes cause he was driving too fast. Bus broke down 3 times. I had to eventually call an uber to take me the rest of the way.

I had a connecting bus from Hartford to New Haven, and the connecting bus was full, so about 30 people were stranded at the station. The next bus was at 10:00 and the connecting bus was supposed to leave at 8:00. I got a ride from someone else since it’s a 30 minute drive. I was directed to fill out a form online to file a complaint, and felt like the company wasn’t great at communicating what was happening.
