Pros: The cost and the fact that it went directly to providence. Cons: After telling the driver my destination to providence he proceeded to put my bag with the luggage for customers going to NY. When I reached my destination in providence and asked for my bag he mad a big stink about getting my bag which was only behind two suitcases. “I asked you where you were going and now I have to go all the way back there for your bag” with the worst attitude.
