Pros: The bus arrived in Buffalo on time. Also the tickets were cheaper on Wanderu then on Grayhound and trailways websites. Cons: The tickets between Niagara Falls and Albany use to be 25 dollars each way. It appears there was a huge price increase. The bus got delayed several times for no apparent reason putting us an hour behind schedule. Also Wanderu should include the fees when they post the price instead of adding them on after the fact. Also the wifi stopped working during the last 2 hours of my trip. Tips: Booking through Wanderu can save you money. If you have a vehicle I recommend parking at the Metro park and ride then taking the metro downtown for 2 dollars instead of paying for parking downtown.
