Pros: I was able to rest while someone else did the driving after a busy weekend in NYC. The driver was extremely friendly, showed great care for his passengers, and I felt very confident with how he handled the bus in traffic, on the highway, and in the rain. Cons: I honestly don't know what could be improved. Tips: There are outlets available to charge your device!
