The bus being late cause me to miss the other bus plus getting the wrong info on bus by the driver

Bus number one ran so late we weren't able to make our connection to bus two. Then, bus two arrived 50 minutes late (not sure why) when all the other buses departing/arriving at the same locations were all on time.
