Pros: The seats were all clean, and it took me to the destination in the exact estimated time. Cons: I was leaving from Princeton, so I had to transfer from ben to the bus nearby Trenton. The ben driver just told me that the bus would be there within 10 minutes and he left. But I waited almost 20 minutes standing there fighting with winds in the back of the oil station. Since it's getting cold outside, next time it would be nice if the ben driver could wait until the bus arrives. Tips: I saw some other reviews that said the bus staff needed to be kinder. However, they were so nice to me on my trip. So you don't need to worry about that.

Pros: I loved not only the cost but the timeliness of the bus. I will be riding with you all again. Cons: Nothing at this time. Tips: Make sure you arrive 15 minutes early to your stop so you could vet a seat of your choice.

City Information

Washington DC

Washington, DC is the capital of the United States, and as such, it offers many points of interest of governmental and historical value. DC is home to several iconic landmarks, including the White House where the U.S. president resides, the Capitol building that houses the meeting chambers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the National Mall, where you can stop by the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the World War II Memorial. One of the reasons Washington, DC is among the best destinations to visit with your family is because it is home to so many world-famous museums, including the Smithsonians – 16 museums scattered across the District, most of which are open every day of the week, and even better, every single one is free.

D.C. is not just about politics and museums, though. The city’s active nightlife fittingly ranks it among the biggest party hubs in the country. Head to the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood to check out some of the finest restaurants that the nation’s capital has to offer, or join a food tour of Georgetown to get a taste of the area’s culture along with its cuisine.
