Pros: the driver waited for everyone, which was very kind of him. they arrived late but send us a message to let us know. Cons: they detour unnecessarily and we arrived one hour later than we should have. Also, the driver said we would wait 30 minutes in downtown NY when in fact it was a 5-minute wait. Due to the MISCOMUNICATION I get off the bus, because I was already late to where I was going, when in fact they left right away. That was not nice. Tips: they may not follow the schedule so bear that in mind if you have an appointment.
