Pros: The air conditioning was working it was nice and cool. Charging area was working . Cons: The numbers on tags should be more readable and recognizable for our seats.The driver should offer to help with luggage when we can’t reach. Crumbs on seat should be little more cleaner. Tips: Make sure you bring a portable charger in case charging area doesn’t work.

Pros: I liked the fact that the staff was very friendly I had a really heavy luggage and the staff helped me with it. Measures were put in place to ensure no passenger was disturbed and no noise. I loved the fact that there was complimentary wi-fi also. Cons: For now nothing. Tips: Ensure you have a neck pillow for a good sleep.

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!
