Megabus

Pros: It was comfortable. The ride was pleasant. Cons: The condition of seats can be improved. They were a bit dirty. Tips: Be prepared for the staff to tell you to keep your stroller with you. And if you want to sit in the upper deck portion (recommended), then you might have to take it up.
