Pros: I was able to be comfortable and there was not a lot of people. Cons: The amount of stood that are made could be improved. There was just too many stops to Pittsburgh. We stopped in jersey, philly, kings of purisa and Harrisburg and I just felt as that was enough honestly. There was no reason. The bus should of made one pit stop and then straight out. Tips: Just bring food and snacks for yourself and get there early to get food spot.

Pros: The driver was so upbeat and happy. It made me feel comfortable enough to fall asleep since from NYC to Pittsburgh is 8 hours minimum if there's no layovers or extra stops. As an aware passenger, it's difficult to sleep because the driver is driving for a substantial amount of hours and you hear about people dying in bus accidents when the drivers fall asleep. It was very comforting that he was so upbeat and excited to drive. Thank you. Cons: The seats need more leg room. I know its a bus but maybe try doing what NYC has done with the extra long buses.
