Pros: Honestly the wifi! Greyhound has only limited free and charges wayyy too much for faster and more access. So thank you. Cons: I wish I would have known the window placements but that’s my own fault on sest selection. A visual display of window viewing for seats would AMAZING! Just like how concert venues put a seating chart and will provide a warning if your view is obstructed. Tips: N/a.
