I didn’t enjoy anything about the trip. It was extremely late for departure and arrival and none of the phone outlet sockets work.

The bus I rode on had a malfunctioning heating/cooling system, so the atmosphere on the bus was extremely, uncomfortably hot for the trip from Rochester to NYC. Also, it was raining and the roof escape hatch was leaky. The seat back charging stations at my seat and the one across the aisle were not working.

I didn’t like it at all. Extremely uncomfortable bus. Bus seems very old and bad seats. Bus was very late as well. It should be refunded :(

Most everything was great. Kind, professional driver with no problems during the ride. I would have liked to know how long each stop would be ahead of time, however. That way if I need food I can plan on grabbing some during a 15 minute stop as opposed to a 5 minute stop.

It wasn't being late that bothered me but the lack of stops, I'd happily be a half-hour longer and have a break.

I took the bus for the first time. It was a good experience. The bus left and reached on time. I wish there was a short 10-15 mins break though. Also the driver could be a little smiling, he was nice otherwise.
