Pros: Nothing Cons: Bus driver saw me coming up to the bus while I was still on-time and waved at me while she pulled away. I had to drive an hour to the next stop. She wouldn't let anyone stow anything in the overhead compartments and stopped for cogarette breaks, but couldn't be bothered to let me on.
