They should not allow loud music on the bus, passenger should not have their cellphone so loud to disturb others.

Pros: Tbh, I gave 3 stars because the tickets are cheap considering that I bought them two days before my trip the first week of the year. Cons: Clean the windows and give the option to choose your seat. Tips: I traveled from NC to NY the first days of the year. The outward journey was terrible because the bus has many stops to pick up passengers. The return trip was much better as it only drops off passengers and the bus was cleaner and more comfortable. I recommend you this company if you don’t mind sacrificing comfort for price, or if you are traveling to nearby locations. The buses were punctual when leaving the destination, and can be tracked.

Raleigh

As an up-and-coming smart city, Raleigh has a wide range of activities that will satisfy all kinds of travelers. One of the most famous destinations in the city is the Neuse River Trail, which boasts 28 miles of a scenic path running through Wake Forest. It goes through not only forests but also wetlands, allowing walkers and cyclists to take a breather from the concrete jungle and be one with nature. Raleigh is also a famous research city, so it makes sense to visit the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. With a permanent collection that attracts all ages, including whale skeletons and seahorse diorama, the museum is a great spot that you should not miss out on. If you wish to go shopping the old-fashioned way, the Raleigh City Market, which opened more than a century ago, allows you to meander through various small boutiques.

Raleigh’s reputation as a foodie haven is on a steady rise, and it currently houses five different establishments by chef Ashley Christensen, of which Poole’s Diner is particularly noteworthy. If you are looking for authentic North Carolina-style barbecues, Clyde Cooper’s stands among the most popular choices.
