I would like to see more information on pickup location. Specifically, where to go to board the bus. General address of the station is not sufficient.

Awful! Customer service was not helpful. Bus never arrived with no explanation. Myself and others were stranded for hours! Will never use this company again!

Terrible - I arrived ten minutes early and the bus in the gate wasn't moving, had it's lights off. 30 minutes later the bus driver emerged and claimed we'd all missed the bus, wouldn't let ppl on, could barely communicate. Finally relented. Got into NYC way later as a result. No charging, no wifi - overpriced!

What I missed most was the lack of information related to the route, places we passed by. I expected more from Business Class. For example some service, like a bottle of water. Except of the above, the journey was pleasant.
