Amtrak Thruway

Cons: *Some of the chairs were overly worn. Maybe put them in the back and put nicer ones up front where it would make better impression. *Wifi, though advertised, was non-existent. *Directions on where to find the bus was non-existent and worrysome. Not having ever taken a bus before made this stressful and worried that I would miss the bus. There was no personnel at the bus terminal to ask , and thought I had bought a scam ticket... Tips: This was a worry-free trip once on the bus. The ride was very smooth with the air shocks and was greatly impressed. The bus arrive at my destination within one minute of scheduled time. Amazing as it was 3 hours away!
