Cheektowaga to New York

Pros: Getting to my destination earlier than expected. Cons: Sure, here's a revised version of your review that's clear, respectful, and organized, while still expressing your experience honestly: --- My experience on this bus ride was extremely disappointing. First, the cleanliness was unacceptable—the seats my sister and I sat in were filthy, with juice spilled all over them. We had no choice but to sit there, as the only other option was next to a grown man, which we were uncomfortable with. The bus driver was also quite rude. Despite the fact that we arrived early, he rushed us to board, even though we were just trying to get settled for what was going to be a 7–8 hour ride. The worst part of the trip, however, was dealing with an extremely inappropriate passenger. A man sitting behind us was doing disturbing things to himself. Even after we asked him to stop, he began hitting our seats, kicking me, and later moved directly behind me (to a broken seat) and continued his behavior. It was around 3 a.m., and he and his friend were being loud, walking up and down the aisle, and making my sister and me very uncomfortable by staring at us. Overall, I would give this ride a 0.5 out of 10. The only reason it gets any points at all is because we arrived at our destination early. Otherwise, this was a truly upsetting and unsafe experience. Tips: If you’re a woman please have someone with you . Watch your surroundings . If you have a newer iPhone get the old charger cord for the bus they do not have c ports or normal outlets at that .

New York to Albany

Pros: Arriving safely. Cons: Driving (too many and too hard braking. The charger stations above, were only turned on for 3 mins while picking up the 8th Ave riders. Being on time or early. Tips: If you don’t mind the hard braking and being flown forward on some of them or arriving late; then your good. However this was only with that particular driver. The one I rode on 3 weeks prior, was a great drive. No issues and arrived fairly close to the arrival time.

Yes, PandaNY Bus offers WiFi on their buses. Although most trips with PandaNY Bus will have WiFi as advertised, some buses might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. PandaNY Bus WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard PandaNY Bus buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since PandaNY Bus might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.
