Seating, charging stations and wifi facilities were great but lateness is a major issue. The bus was never early; not for departure nor arrival. The ETA to NYC was 7:10am. We got there 8:15 am. I planned my trip with that time in mind as I had plans. Being an hour late threw my plans out of whack and I had to be scrambling to do damage control.
Ironically, if a passenger is late he or she is left stranded without any mercy or grace shown. I witnessed this on my trip up to Buffalo.
A man and his son arrived just as the bus was pulling out after being over 1/2 hour late. The driver could simply have stopped, braked, opened the door and allowed them in. They had no luggage that I could see. He kept driving, leaving them stranded forgetting that we just waited on him over half hour late. Noone made a fuss or said anything. 😮💨

Very bad drag smell. I know it's not your fault but the smell was from your passengers and I ended up vomit in the bus. Long waiting time on the stops. I would prefer like 5-10 minutes brake. Everything else was okay.
