Pros: The bus didn’t do a lot of stop. Cons: There is no safe place for you to wait on The bus and it lets you off on the road side. You guys need to find better pickup and drop spots, especially because it’s cold time. Tips: Don’t reach too early because you will be waiting on the road side in the cold.

Adirondack Trailways

Pros: The driver was friendly and very helpful. The bus had some problems like the power was out to charge the phone. The bus driver explained that. On the way he informed use what was happening if we needed to know about it. Very nice of him. The bus was very clean but I used the restroom and it was not clean. But I know that some people on the bus mested the restroom up and it was not the staff fort. But overall it was good. Cons: Water in the restroom or something to clean your hand after using it. But I came with my own. Tips: Not at this time. As for the wifi. I'm sorry I did not open my phone so I can't tell you.
