Pros: The driver was nice. Everyone was pretty quiet and respectful on the bus. Cons: Nothing really. Just wanted to point out there’s one old man that kind of keeping pulling the chair in front of him, and I feel bad for whoever sat in that chair because the chair moved if he pulled it.

Cons: Trip was on a Saturday, was 20% longer than advertised time. Just put in some padding in the schedule so we can compare the duration to a train, please. WiFi worked but Internet connectivity was marginal in some areas.
