The bus ride from Boston to Rochester was very good, and my bus from Rochester to Port Authority was also very good but the time for my return connecting bus to Boston was replaced 3 times. I ended up staying at Port Authority from 4:20am to 9:40am

The driver told me my bus wasn’t going to my intended destination - I found out later that that was indeed the correct bus and he was just mistaken. So he made me miss my bus.

Amtrak Boston Rochester recent customer reviews

Service was good. The conductors polite and helpful. The compartments were clean and seats comfortable. It ran on time. However the train service in USA needs a complete overhaul. The ride is very rocky. Our trains rides are no comparison to trains in China, France and even the modern Indian trains.
