  • If the bus is late to pick you up:
    • While we will do our best to ensure that all of our buses arrive on time, there are factors outside of our control, such as traffic and the weather, which can cause a delay. We encourage passengers to track their bus’s location using the link that was provided with their digital ticket purchase to minimize wait time at the pick up location.
      • Under four (4) hours:
        • The passenger will not be entitled to a refund, discount, or credit, should their bus be delayed by less than four (4) hours.
