Pros: What I liked about the trip is the pit/rest stop. It helps me as a customer to stretch my aching body as sitting too long can make me easily uncomfortable. Cons: A couple of things that can improve is leg room and security. The seats all seem to be cramped up especially for a big guy like me. Security needs to be improved on older buses. Such as security cameras. Tips: Be sure to line up early for better seat selections and have some snacks on the go.
