Eastern Bus

Pros: Did not like the fact they spent 2 hrs picking people from all over nyc. All announcements in Chinese. Difficult to know about the exact stops. 4 pm trip was originally supposed to arrive in Rockville at 930. Reached after 11pm. Not worth the bargain. Bus was clean and comfortable though. Cons: Clear and transparent itinerary.
