Pros: I was able to leave on an earlier bus and arrived 2 hrs earlier which was fantastic as I was sitting ins bus shelter with 50 mph winds and very cold. Cons: I don’t believe you could do anything to improve the service. I was very pleased. Tips: Just follow the rules laid out for you by the company and drivers and you will be able to sit back and relax.
