Greyhound

Pros: First leg of trip from Port Authority to Raleigh, NC was 30 minutes late. Bus driver for Raleigh to Florence, SC held bus to accommodate travelers on the late arriving bus. 25 minutes was inadequate allowance for transfer. Ended up taking closer to 45 minutes between late arrival and transfer of luggage to Raleigh departing bus. Note: undercarriage luggage compartment latch gave way; driver stopped bus enroute to try multiple times to relatch. On arrival in Florence, at least one passenger on bus was missing luggage. Cons: Greater time allowance, especially through very congested NY and DC traffic areas. Secure latches to undercarriage baggage storage area. Tips: If there's a way to check condition of bus before boarding, do so. Hoses usually covered by interior upholstery overhead in sides were visible in the NY to Raleigh bus with torn seat covers. The other two buses were newer model Prevost buses in much better visible interior space and seating.
