the bus company would probably accept your old ticket if you just missed the bus. I don't understand what the issue is ?
-
The issue is that people are accepting what companies are offering when it comes to pay - which isn't enough to be able to put some aside for situations like this. If you can't keep $200 in your pocket at all times, then it's time to make some changes.

Because he missed the bus without telling his company ahead of time so they could have cancelled the ticket.So because of that,his company already paid for that ticket.They don't wanna have to pay a second time.

Why don't you call a family member and use their credit card,the bus depot will accept it over the phone but make sure not to miss it this time.Depots will cancell the bus ticket if you give them penty of notice but not right at the last minute.

Here is the issue with the ticket . All I was given was a conf. Number , but I never actually had a ticket in my hand . Also I did inform my company that I would not be able to catch that bus , but they are saying that I didn't even though I know that I did, and they do not want to buy another ticket .

why were you unable to make it to the bus stop on time?
-
Okay, I was needing to get to the store to pick up a new luggage bag so that I could pack up my stuff in the truck , but to get to the store I had to catch the bus to the hotel that is near the store , and the earliest bus was not until 11am and it took an hour to get to the hotel. I asked the hotel clerk when the next shuttle to the store was going to be and she said not until 1530 , but like 20 minutes later she posted a sign saying that the shuttle to the store would not be running until 1730 and as soon as she posted the sign I called my driver manager to tell him of the situation. But, of course now he is telling his his supervisor that I did not do this . Anyway, I caught the first shuttle to the store , but did not get back to the hotel until 1900 due to waiting on the shuttle and buying my suitcase . After I got back I found out they were not doing anymore shuttle runs back to the school so that I could pack up my truck so I had to stay at the hotel for the night . By the way I called my dm on Thursday at 1317 cat which is 1217 met and the bus pickup was set for 1955 that night .

That's all you need is the confirmation number.The depot looks it up and then gives you a ticket.Do you remember who you told at your company that you would'nt be able to take the bus?That's who you need to talk to.

That's too bad all this happened.In the future don't do things at the last minute.Bus depots like you to be their an hr before your bus arrives.
mje Thanks this.
