I think it is outrageous to cut off the Wi-Fi after a passenger has used it for a certain amount of time. My bus ride was seven hours, but I probably only was able to use Wi-Fi for two or three of those. I have lots of business to do and this was extremely inconvenient.

We had 2 drivers. One was efficient and an alert, skillful driver. The other was sloppy, read from a list of small print while driving at high speed and talked on a hand held phone. I was sitting in the left hand side front seat.

Smooth ride. Comfy seats. No WiFi or plug ins on this bus that we could tell. Had a nice stop to get food and use a restroom if necessary. The bus did have a bathroom though.
