Wanda Coach

Pros: I arrived to my destination safe. Cons: Did not know I would be exiting the bus to get into a cramped van. Tips: You get what you pay for I guess. Make sure you pay attention to the stops being made because there is no one to tell you their doing drop offs. Many people missed their stop and had to ride back. Bus drivers do not speak English. Also the bus only made one break stop.
