Extremely unpleasant. The bus was over an hour late and my schedule was delayed. This inconvenience ruined most of my plans for the day, forcing me to work through Thanksgiving to catch up on work.

Bus dropped me off almost 50 mins late for absolutely no reason. My driver delayed leaving about 15 mins to make a suggestion on someone to hold a guitar even though they didn’t have to. The bus also smelled like B.O. insanely bad with uncomfortable seats to top it off

Ourbus from NYC to Worcester was packed but I was able to get my own seat. Loved that there is water on board and I could charge my phone. The Wifi wasn't great. The ride took way too long

Our driver was courteous and kind. Even after a long day of driving. He chose to continue his day (made longer due to traffic) so we could get home with no more delays. I was traveling with children so I was really glad
