Overall score for buses from New York to East Lansing
(Based on 1 ratings and reviews)
4.0
Pros: Seats were comfortable and I was sitting alone so I had more space to take a nap and just accommodate myself. Cons: Toilet! It was disgustingly dirty with no toilet paper neither hand sanitizer. Bus also arrived 1,5 hours later, so I was basically late for my audition. Tips: You could go by Wanda bus if you want to save money. It’s fine and quite comfortable, though I wouldn’t recommend to use toilet in the bus and also plan to arrive much later than it’s written in the ticket.
