Greyhound

Pros: Very comfortable and efficient- bus was very clean, timely, and easy to book. In a world where airlines are so unreliable and overpriced, I’d take Greyhound any day! Cons: Only issue I had was that seats were assigned when there many empty seats on the bus. My seat mate ended up taking one of said empty seats since they weren’t being used. But even if he hadn’t, comfortable enough!

OurBus

Pros: The punctuality and the helpful driver. Cons: There was no wifi on the bus even though it was included in the ticker price. In such cases, it would be a good move on the company's part to refund some money amount back to the customers as we paid for a service that was not provided.
