Pros
The price. The bus was comfortable and got us there on time. The driver let us board as soon as the bus arrived so we didn't have to wait in the rain.
Cons
More leg room? Perhaps a shelter to wait in inclement weather.

The bus was delayed for 30 min and left us freezed in such a cold day. The bus tracking was not working.
Cons
Please bus be on time
Tips
Keep yourself warm when waiting for a delayed bus because you will be standing on the side of the road for 30 mins with your luggage.

Well I liked that it was a really quick trip making it 20 minutes earlier to the destination.

Probably more comfortable seats. but then you don't get everything you want but it's probably something to have in priority for an upgrade ;)

Pros
I like that the bus ride was quick and peaceful. My luggage was left in NY on the curb and the staff were really helpful to us. Great service.
Cons
Make sure that riders know that they have to place their own luggage on the bus, and make sure there is no vomit or trash in the seats before the next riders board the bus.
Tips
Place your own luggage on the bus.

Pros
Pick up location
Cons
Do not oversell tickets. Too many people were booked on this bus and about 30 of us had to wait for next one- outside in the sun/heat for 40 mins.
Tips
Be prepared to have to take the next bus. This happens often.

August 31, 2019Couples trip
Pros
The staff was extremely helpful and nice (the pickup spot was new to my partner and I, but we were guided with ease and felt a lot of relief thanks to the staff and some other passengers). We arrived to our destination right on time and the seats/bus ride was as comfort...More
Cons
Maybe some help with WiFi if possible. I'm not sure if the bus I was on had working WiFi but it's always helpful for long rides so people can get work done/watch tv/etc.
Tips
This is probably one of the best options for a bus ride. I have rode with Wanda Coach, MegaBus, OurBus, Peter Pan, and Greyhound. This is one of my top favorite bus companies price wises and generosity wise and I will definitely be riding with them again in the future.
