The buses are in poor mechanical shape; the drivers are poorly trained. I used to think they were a good idea, but I now believe they are too risky to take.

Regulators in the states in which these buses operate need to really clamp down hard on this company (and some of the Chinatown buses) for safety inspections and training regulations. I'm not sure if the federal government is involved ... but possibly, since the routes include interstate travel.
