Worse: Bathroom door wouldn’t lock and would just open up on its own when the bus would stop or brake. Yes, people going to the bathroom had the door open up on them for everyone to see. Absolutely horrible experience, mortifying for the people in the bathroom who had the door open up on them and disgusting for the rest. Shame on OurBus for slow rolling the repair to save a buck. Also no WiFi even though it was promised.
