Bus driver was friendly and very helpful in assisting with baggage. Because of a traffic problem on CT Highway 84 the bus was delayed 30 min on arrival time. That is not the fault of the bus driver. Overhaul the trip was pleasant

Pros: It was my first time traveling on a coach bus, except field trips in high school lol. I wasn't sure what to expect. I liked that the drive took the time it said it would. Cons: Things that probably won't change: width and depth of seats; less expensive tickets because it's so crowded anyway. Tips: Bring earphones, don't wear bottoms that are slippery bcuz the seats aren't fabric, u will slide.
