Pros: the bus was new and very clean, and the driver was competent and professional. Cons: I think that time estimate of 2 hours From NYC to Hartford is unrealistic. our trip was closer to 3 hours and we had an expert driver. Also, there was no toilet paper in the WC. Tips: I would take the 2 hour travel time with a grain of salt. Realistically, it is closer to 2.5 hours.
