Greyhound
Pros: It was on time, and I always felt safe. Cons: The baggage situation is terrible. The driver did not help at all in unloading my suitcase, and I had to literally crawl into the baggage area to find and dig out my bag. Tips: Try not to sit near the back, which is bumpy and too close to the toilet.
