Pros: The bus was extremely comfortable and we arrived on time with no issues whatsoever. Cons: There was some confusion from another passenger on the ticketing process.

Burlington Trailways

Pros: The bus was late but that happens. Tips: Try not to talk loud the entire trip. Also got the last seat and women had part of her leg on my seat and said my leg hurt and I have to stretch it out so here I have to sit in half a seat uncomfortable for the entire trip.
