In winter time I wish the can be more mindful about the timing sometimes it get really cold outside for the customer to be waiting outside in the cold

The restroom in San Antonio needs addressing. I was unable to wash my hands. I don't think that is safe with the covid 19 virus going around.

Late buses, confused and unhelpful staff, no indication (screens or something) of the current arrivals/departures, and the bus was filthy. The only upside was the relatively low rate.
