Stations were filthy, drug use in the bathrooms, had to reschedule my trip 3 times due to cancellations(I’m on probation out of state with a travel permit, I might be in trouble when I get home because of how delayed my arrival will be) overall awful experience, tried to give y’all a second chance after I had issues a couple years ago, but it’s clear I just have to take my business elsewhere
