Pros: The driver was a pleasant older guy. He drove and handled the road well. Cons: If the driver is allowed to drop passengers off 15 to 20 minutes late due to u foreseen circumstances, then the same compassion and grace should be extended to customers who may be late 5 to 10 minutes late. Clean. Tips: If you have a car or can afford to rent a car, do so. If you on a fixed income or have low income, plan to leave 15 to 20 minutes earlier then the time you planned to leave especially if you are in NYC because traffic is fickle and very unpredictable. You may have accounted for traffic in the planning of your trip and it still may not get you there on time. Due to all the coughing from multiple people on the bus, I would advise you to wear a mask, bring disinfectant wipes and spray, sanitizer and or antibacterial soap, as well as toilet set covers. The cup or phone holders on the bus were so filthy. Also bring a power bank for your cell phone. The bus did not have any charging ports. It is hit or miss with these busses. The first trip we took with this company was awesome. This last trip, not so much.
