I appreciated another driver that was going to New York who helped me out by figuring out which was the right bus I needed. When she could’ve just slapped me on a bus cause I was taking a bit long to get my thoughts in order at the moment or plain simply make me figure it out on my own. My actual driver was still kind and friendly.
