Pros: Quick trip, a little late which made me nervous as first time rider. Driver (Johnny Jones) was courteous, efficient and safe. Cons: Signage at Milwaukee Airport could include “amtrack” logo. I was very anxious that I saw city buses, Badger bus, coach USA on the sign. All those buses came and went and finally, my bus arrived. Tips: Bring something for lumbar support.
