Pros: I got trapped in the elevator at the bus station (Silver Spring MD) on the day I was to travel at first and missed my bus, was able to submit a ticket while in there and a customer care representative reached out to me as soon as I got out and helped reschedule my trip. I am glad the way they responded fast and she was very friendly and showed care and concern. Cons: There should be a phone number one can directly access when there are emergencies. Not many people will know about submitting a ticket. Tips: Peter pan bus lines are very reliable. The staff are very friendly and communicate well. I would recommend the bus lines to anyone anytime, any day.

There were a number of stops I was unaware of when purchasing the ticket. The ticket only displayed departure and arrival location not a few of the small stops in between or the actual final stop. This was not a significant problem but may be useful to those purchasing tickets or traveling with multiple passengers.

Philadelphia

We may feel a little bit more than just brotherly love for Philadelphia, a city steeped in history and culture. Where else can you channel your inner Rocky Balboa on his epic run, and later enjoy an authentic Philly cheesesteak as a reward?

Philadelphia’s affordability (especially compared to other East Coast cities) is just one of many reasons it is among Wanderu’s best destinations for college students. Another reason is how much there is to do! Early American history takes precedence at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, while museums abound on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sometimes called the most artistic mile in the city. Head to Reading Terminal Market to fuel up for a night hitting the bars, clubs, and live music joints that line South Street.

Philadelphia is a major hub for both Greyhound and Amtrak, and its 30th Street Station is one of the busiest stations in the country. The plentitude of ground travel and the nearby Philadelphia International Airport make this exciting city very easily accessible, even on a budget.
