C&J

Pros: The driver was friendly and helpful and a much better driver than the last few trips I’ve taken. We also arrived almost 30 mins early, which was great. I also appreciated that our driver enforced the no using devices without earbuds policy and no phone calls policy during the ride. Cons: I was not aware there were assigned seats and would’ve like to have chosen my own seat. The bus was not full so I was able to move to a window seat, but I would’ve like to know ahead of time.

Pros: I enjoyed how I had my own seat and had a lot of room Cons: It was misleading because we got there over 45 minutes late, which almost made me late to my second Peter Pan shuttle back to Philadelphia. Tips: Expect delays
