Adirondack Trailways

Pros: Clean buses, lots of room, super friendly drivers & plugs at every seat. Love the BK stop. Cons: Wifi didn’t work on the way back. I wish you could reserve seats - i bought two tickets thinking i could have an open seat next to me since it’s Easter and ppl are gathering. It wasn’t an option on the way home because every other seat was taken. It was fine but it would be the only thing holding me back from booking again. Tips: Don’t sleep on Trailways, they are some of the nicer busses I’ve been on and everyone seems very kind that works for them.
