So we tried to book Greyhound tickets last week, for a short trip we're taking on Thursday, to go to Baltimore, to a wedding (a family friend of H's family). Everything was set- and then their website was messed up and wouldn't register my credit card. So we waited, wrote to customer service, and got a useless answer. I would have called, but it was going to be a 30+ minute wait to talk to someone, and I just didn't have the time...
Sunday, I looked at the different bus options, found that Bolt bus was now cheaper than Greyhound (as we could no longer get the advance sale price), and went with that. More expensive than we would have managed before, but still cheaper than the now-available Greyhound prices, and leaving at a good time for us.
Today, I got an email from Bolt Bus saying that there was some trouble, and they had rescheduled us- sorry for the inconvenience. Sadly, they rescheduled us to arrive 15 minutes before the wedding starts- if nothing goes wrong, no traffic, no road work, nothing at all. And then there's a cab ride to get to where the wedding is, and we'll need to change- and this just isn't going to work at all.
So I wrote them, asking for an earlier, rather than a later bus. But if they push us too far earlier, we'll have to miss the whole day of yeshiva, rather than just the afternoon- and that's not good for H, who's getting a stipend for doing this. But I really Don't want to have to pay even more.
