Staff was very good and professional. Driver was excellent as well. However, somehow I came up short one suitcase. Called the 800 number the driver gave me and they took some information and said they would look.

Very clean and a quiet ride. The only thing I didn’t like is the temperature within the bus. I truly don’t understand why it must be cold. My feet and fingers were freezing. The overall ride was quiet and I had a nap

I was very disappointed in the organization. Our gate was changed in New York leading to confusion and many passengers taking longer to find and board the bus. Which consequently departed late resulting in all passengers changing busses missing their original bus and having to take one that left a full hour later than originally intended. All the while never communicating in regards to new ETA as a result of their errors.
