Greyhound
Pros: Very affordable. Cons: Estimated time of arrival could be more precise. No fault from the driver though as traffic was jammed a little while before entering NYC. Tips: Read instructions on tour online ticket. It was most helpful for me as screens in the bus terminal did not announce the bay in which my bus was waiting for passengers, but my ticket stated it was likely to be in bay 25 or 26. With that info I was able to board the right bus on time.
