Adirondack Trailways

Pros: I travelled about 90 mins outside NYC on a weekday and took the early morning bus so we were against traffic, which was great. Bus was clean, quiet, and we arrived at our destination on time. Tips: Highly recommend Wanderu for both bus and train bookings. I also search for Amtrak train deals on Wanderu but the bus options are super great for connecting small and large towns/cities as we all know that trains are few and far between in the US.

Adirondack Trailways

Pros: The driver was very communicative over the intercom, drove safely, and overall made me feel comfortable during the trip. Cons: Would love to have cup holders or a bigger storage net on the seats. It would be nice to be able to at least have my water bottle with me at the seat without having to hold it in my lap.
