Pros: With regard to the previous question, the pandemic is OVER. All was fine. The trip was fine. What I DID NOT LIKE was Port Authority. I keep telling myself I never want to go there ever again, but your buses do - to places where trains do not go. Port Authority is the pits. But the bus? Fine. Cons: Well, someone could serve meals...seriously, all was fine. Tips: Arrive early to get the seat you want.
