Martz

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.

Pros: The seat I got it was extra comfortable. Cons: The stopping when we get to Pennsylvania when they can go to the store in Scranton. Tips: It pack a pillow and blanket so you’re warm and comfortable.
