Pros: I used the C.J. BUS WENT TO NEW HAMPSHIRE IT WAS SHORT TRIP BUT A FUNFILL ONE. Cons: I took the C.J, bus line to Newhamshire .it was a awesome trip .the bus was clean bathroom excellent 👌. However I am living in the bronx so I had to get it in portauthority . Which I don't mind But please if you could just find a drop off spot at some point in The BRONX myself and others would greatly appreciate it .even at bay plaza. Lol because I literally get on the bus in Manhattan then come back in the bronx to pass my house to newhamshire like seriously 🙃 I have to travel 1hr to the bus only to realize I am passing my house to get to my destination. When I could stay at my gate or closer to get the Bus only if they did provide a Bus Stop .please think about a pick up or drop off stop in the bronx or both . Tips: I would recommend the CJ bus any time awesome 👌.
