<p>[quote user="dakotafred"]</p> <p>Ouch! What in the world can have made both buses three hours late? [/quote]</p> <p>I don;'t know. And I did not stay around to find out. </p> <p>Why the ticket agent had the Fort Worth passengers get on Number 22 at 2:00 p.m. is beyond me. Maybe he did not get the word that the buses were running very late, or perhaps he thought that we would be more comfortable on the train as opposed to sitting in the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center waiting room. </p> <p>A bottle of water and some snacks were in every coach seat. I supposed this is Amtrak's way of compensating the bus passengers for the lack of any food service between San Antonio, etc. and Fort Worth.</p> <p>The San Antonio bus leaves the Alamo City at 7:00 a.m.. The buses don't make any food stops, according to a response that I received from Amtrak, but apparently the passengers can get off at Austin and/or Temple for a quick raid on vending machines. They are good for a coke and a bag of peanuts, and that is about it. Thus, when the bus passengers get to Fort Worth, they probably are pretty hungry unless they packed a lunch.</p>
