I guess they had sold too many tickets: the bus was full and some people had to stand.
Annastiina L.
Overall a good experience, however the directions on where to board the bus at Union Station in Chicago could have been more clear. Would have been helpful if it simply said somewhere to board on Canal Street.
Justin W.
