Peter Pan Lines

Pros: The bus driver was very friendly and drove safely. Cons: I was trying to nap on the bus and it was hard to get comfortable. While leaning to the side of the seat, a plastic part was sticking out. It was hard to find a way to wedge my pillow in without it slipping. Also, it advertises as having Wi-Fi and I don't think it's every worked on these busses. Tips: Make sure to bring adequate food and water before a long trip! Sometimes there is traffic along the route and no time to stop for snacks.
