Peter Pan Lines

Pros: The fact that it was an early morning bus ride & the value for the money. Cons: The bus could be cleaned better & the WiFi needs to work next time & the tvs on the bus. If Peter Pan can tend to these three things then the trips could be a better bang for my buck. Tips: Do the early morning trips....It's less confusion....Because there will be some level of confusion.

Peter Pan Lines

Pros: Outgoing trip was fine. Left only a few minutes late and arrived not much later than traffic allowed. Seats and temperature were fine. Cons: Return trip was chaotic. Scheduled bus did not arrive. After waiting 1 1/2 hours, the last few minutes in the rain, arriving bus driver Donna, who waited with us, saved the day and commandeered an empty bus to take us to our destination after she had completed her scheduled driving. You should have better communications with the buses en route and back-up plans (ie., back-up drivers and empty buses) if they are significantly delayed. Tips: Bus travelling is more dependable if you are taking it at the beginning of the bus route than at one of its intermediate stops.

Pros: In my ticket never mentioned that the bus was gonna stop at Baltimore and then we have to change to another bus, so that was annoying. Cons: If the bus has stop, let the users know before the trip.

City Information

Philadelphia

We may feel a little bit more than just brotherly love for Philadelphia, a city steeped in history and culture. Where else can you channel your inner Rocky Balboa on his epic run, and later enjoy an authentic Philly cheesesteak as a reward?

Philadelphia’s affordability (especially compared to other East Coast cities) is just one of many reasons it is among Wanderu’s best destinations for college students. Another reason is how much there is to do! Early American history takes precedence at Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, while museums abound on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sometimes called the most artistic mile in the city. Head to Reading Terminal Market to fuel up for a night hitting the bars, clubs, and live music joints that line South Street.

Philadelphia is a major hub for both Greyhound and Amtrak, and its 30th Street Station is one of the busiest stations in the country. The plentitude of ground travel and the nearby Philadelphia International Airport make this exciting city very easily accessible, even on a budget.
