SprinterBus

Pros: The bus operator was very informative with his announcement before we left. He went up and down the aisle to see who was getting off the bus at Dover Downs which is now Ballys Casino during our rest stop break. Seating is spacious width wide and seats were comfortable. Cons: Ticketing verification should also include the number of people in your party to avoid seating discrepancies on the bus to avoid any departure delays. We need a little leg room since trip is over three hours. Tips: I don't recall whether driver announced his name which he probably did. He was very courteous. Thank you for getting us to our destination which is greatly appreciated. Traveling Grace to and from your destinations.
