Pros: I liked that the bus driver came 10 minutes early. The driver was also very considerate with allowing my mom use the bathroom on the bus before boarding time. Cons: I don’t have any comments at this time. I was very happy with the service being my first time using this bus company. Tips: If you want top of the line economical tickets comfortable seating and bathroom equipped with hand sanitizer and bathroom tissue which a lot of bus companies I have used in the past lacked Wanderu is the one for you.
