Peter Pan Lines

Pros: A pleasant journey mainly. Cons: Just a few too many stops, especially on the return trip to NYC. A pocket on the back of each seat to put a book in would help. Also, flaps on the headrest so one could sleep. Tips: Try to get seats near the front of the bus. Less bumpy.

Peter Pan Lines

Pros: I liked that the bus arrived on time. I had a layover and switch busses and they were both right on time. I was exhausted and just wanted to get home so it was great. Cons: On our first bus the WiFi wasn’t working. Tips: I’ve heard Peter Pan was great from one other person who travels often. My tip would be to travel Peter Pan always!
