Pros: Everything was great, but our ride was 3 hours delayed... maybe because of the rain? Traffic was horrendous, so I understand. I don't know how often these run this late, but it'd be nice to have a heads up on real commute time if it's frequent. Cons: Driver should announce if there's a big delay like this on the bus. Tips: n/a
