Pros: I love how fast and efficient the trip always is. The ride is always smooth and fast. Cons: Someone complained that the bathroom was messy but I didn’t have to use it so I’m unsure.

PandaNY Bus

Pros: The service was on time and made well timed refreshment stops Cons: The state of the restrooms at the bus’s starting point at 28 Allen Str. When customers are getting ready to embark on a long trip they may require the use of the toilets but they were in an extremely bad state. I’ve never seen such dirty public toilets in my life. Tips: Bring a shawl or small blanket as the bus maybe cold due to air conditioning.
