14 September 2026 - Visiting family

Wanda Coach
Pros: We was able to get home safe? Cons: When someone purchased their tickets, they need to explain about the pod. When children have to buy tickets, especially a newborn baby. I know that they said 3 and under. But then I had to pay a $100 for my adrio, grandson. And my daughter was holding him in her harness. Oh and her seat. So if I didn't have the $100 for the baby to get on the bus, I would have lost my 2 tickets. I purchased for the bus. So I think that's not fair to be cut off guard like that I think if the baby is not in a carrier on the bus. He shouldn't be charged for a ticket So someone need to look into that. Tips: They need to make sure what the policy is before purchasing their tickets Because I think that is real bad to charge a 3 day old baby a $100 just to get on the bus. When being carried by the mother in a harness.
