Pros: My driver Gary was amazing and efficient… he also took his time and made sure everyone on the bus was comfortable and gave everyone a complimentary water which I was thankful for because I couldn’t stop at the store before boarding the bus. He even helped everyone with their luggage too. I had him both going to Atlantic City and coming back… I’d ride on his bus anytime… Cons: The seating and where the plugs are located could be in a more useful placement and could use more leg room. Tips: You definitely feel like you’re on a private bus service with the way the staff and drivers treat their passengers… 10 out of 10…
