Pros: Driver was very friendly and interacted with the passengers. Also gave announcements at the beginning. Bus had bags for rubbish. Sockets to charge phone. Cons: The onboard WiFi didn't seem to work. Could perhaps also have been made more obvious where to wait for bus in Washington D.C. (maybe with a sign).
