Amtrak

Pros: Bus driver from Tampa to Orlando gave very clear instructions re transfer to train in Orlando. Cons: I almost missed bus because my confirmation had incorrect address. Wanderu sent me incorrect information re bus pick up address in Port Charlotte. Bus stopped across street from 910 Kings Hwy & I had to run across main roadway to catch bus as I saw bus leaving. Tips: Have an alternate means of getting to your destination in case bus leaves you, because you’re waiting at wrong address sent by Wanderu..I have a tip for Wanderu: please publish correct address so traveler will have correct information for pick up.
