No notice was given just told that the driver had not arrived. Causing me to be late to connect to the bus in Dallas had to wait in another long line to get another ticket, because there was nothing that anyone did to rectify the situation. Arrived to Houston very late! Was supposed to arrive at 5:55pm, arrived at 8:30p.
