Pros: The second best driver that we picked up in Wichita made better timing than the first one the first driver was kind of cranky a little bit neither one of them interacted with the writers very much they focus on what they was doing and got their job done especially the second driver he made up time Cons: I understand that your drivers are at work when they come to drive the bus maybe a little bit more friendly or talkative with passengers on the ride from Oklahoma to Wichita there was a passenger that was talking on the phone very loudly and somebody even complained about it to the best driver and the best driver done nothing Tips: Sit back and enjoy the ride
