Peter Pan Lines

Pros: Driver was aces. She was in charge, no nonsense and still approachable and engaging. Cons: Maybe add a list of eateries or bars close to station. Mine was a 3 hr layover in NY so was able to hit a great place The Blarney Stone and watch some Sunday football. Also Wi-Fi was out. Tips: . Take a pic of your boarding pass. Seemed odd the boarding pass isn’t sent with all the other confirmation info so it took me a minute to find it among the 9 emails I got within 10 minutes. Also have your phone fully charged. Our bus was fully equipped but first leg of trip many of the charging ports weren’t working.
