First leg of the trip was fine, but the second leg was cancelled with no notice. Rebooking was a pain in the butt. Bus was satisfactory - outlets were loose and WiFi was slow but seats were comfortable.

First bus from Cleveland left on time, however, it lacked air conditioning and A/C. Second bus from Pittsburgh to Philly was terrible. There was no WiFi, the toilets were clogged, and then the bus broke down leaving all passages stranded at a service plaza for 5 hours.
