Pros: The driver. Nicest guy ever. I believe I've ridden with him before. Cons: Bathroom was dirty. Hate that I had to use it. Yuck! However, our driver suggested we use the one at McDonald's on one of our stops. Wish I had known beforehand. I also remember having phone charging availability on Megabus.
