Pros: The return trip was very smooth and punctual. Cons: The trip up took much longer than expected. Tips: Give yourself additional time when traveling by bus (for traffic, transfers, pickups etc.).

Peter Pan Lines

Cons: The lock on the bathroom door was broken so that made for an uncomfortable situation. The light above the seat and plug also didn’t work. Tips: Get to the line in Port Authority early to get a good seat on the bus. The waiting area has no chairs and zero temperature control so it’s either freezing or hot.

Cons: The reason for four and not five stars; there was no toilet paper in the lavatory. Tips: Bring your own toilet paper.
