Sorry, I will not complain on this glorious day in remembrance of all who sacrificed their lives so I can miss your bus

I was very disappointed in the New Bedford bus terminal, The bus on my ticket said Bonanza bus lines. I in turn was looking for a bonanza bus not a peter pan bus. The terminal never announced the bus for Fall River and the bus driver didn't come in the terminal and check to see if there were any passengers for Fall River. I therefore missed the bus completely and ended up paying $45.00 for a Taxi to take me to Fall River to catch my connecting bus to Boston. I think the bus tickets should be printed with both Bonanza/Peter Pan bus lines so that people wont get confused with just one bus line.
