Terrible service, was scheduled for a 3:40pm bus, somehow there was no driver or replacement sent ever, two other buses with the same route came about 3 hours later and had to take extra passengers to try and get everyone where they were going. My 9 hour trip ended up being delayed by 4 hours, luckily the bus driver was able to shorten it an hour, just imagine how much worse it could’ve been!

Thanks for the trip! The driver was excellent—he explained all the stops along the way and was very polite and punctual. The bus was clean, and water was provided for passengers. Best of all, despite the heavy traffic, we arrived on time.

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.

not enough legroom. I’m tall so I couldn’t fit at all. Some weird guy snuck on the bus-I’m pretty sure he didn’t even have a ticket
