However, there isn't any leg room, got home hours ago but my legs and knees still hurt because of the lack of leg room. Another thing, our bus arrived at 4am instead of 4:45am the driver couldn't enter Park Station because he doesn't have a permit we had to wait outside for thirty minutes and it was COLD. He didn't even bother to communicate that or even wait until 4:30. I was disappointed at the end of the journey.
