Pros: I liked how nice and helpful the bus driver was. Cons: Getting to and from stops on time, or at least just making more realistic times on tickets. Tips: The stop you’re going to isn’t always going to be what’s listed on the bus so don’t be afraid to ask if you’re unsure about what bus to get on.
