I received a text 1 hour 15 min prior to scheduled departure that the bus would be delayed 4.5 hours. I had to buy another ticket with another company to travel earlier. Not a reliable bus company.

Our bus broke down. I know that things happen that’s ok but the driver was very rude and unprofessional and made the whole event worse.

The drive itself was fine. The driver was good. The disorganization of the process both in NYC and Albany was so bad that I decided to disembark at the non-station rather than wait an indeterminate time to go to the Amtrak station where I had planned to be picked up by my friend. The process is always improved by communication, which was seriously lacking. It was not the drivers fault, but she did little to alleviate the mis communication.

It was easy to buy tickets from the site. I was able to get on the bus 1 1/2 hrs early because the bus was empty and the driver was very nice.
According to user reports, the drivers and ground staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and professionalism. The buses are noted for being punctual and clean. However, there have been mentions of issues with overhead lights not working on some buses, leading to a dim environment during travel.

According to customer reviews, there were some difficulties in finding the correct gate at Port Authority. Additionally, during a bus transfer in Kingston NY, passengers had to wait for over an hour outside a closed station on a cold night. However, it's worth mentioning that the staff was polite throughout the experience.
