Pros: I liked that it was very spacious and comfortable. Additionally the bus was very clean and tidy. The bus had seats that could recline, there was a small foot rest to put your feet on, good charging ports , and a pull out desk/ cup holder for people who want to get work done which was convenient. I also liked that the driver offered us water and asked how we liked the temperature or the bus which was very considerate. This was honestly the best bus ride I have been on and I even recommended it to 4 other friends who will not be taking this bus. Overall 11/10 experience. Cons: They said there was WiFi but when I went to watch Netflix it said no connection even though I was connected to the WiFi so maybe fixing the WiFi service if that possible. Tips: No.
