It says to arrive at 17:15, but it arrived at 18:15. One hour later. Could have told that it will arrive ~18:00 due to traffic so that I can make my plans better.

My experience with Trailways has been nothing but pleasant except a few hiccups here and there which can be handled. Last Saturday was one of those hiccups that I experienced, I got to the Trailways bus terminal at 7:29am and I saw the bus pulling out...
