FlixBus US
Pros: Safe and with access to strategic breaks to help ease the hours of traveling. Cons: A little more armrest space so you have more privacy next to the fellow passenger on the seat next to you. Tips: There’s no need to arrive too early. The buses are very good with their timing and even 20 minutes before the trip should be safe, but be there 30 minutes before to avoid any possible unforeseen circumstance.

Pros: The seats were very comfortable and spacious. The driver makes our ride comfortable and there was terrible breaking and sudden stops. I was able to sleep almost uninterruptible. Cons: The control of the temperature for some it very cold and others were hot.
