Adirondack Trailways Syracuse Potsdam recent customer reviews

i only rate it 2 stars because my bus driver was rather rude. she just kind of screamed at us whenever she heard any ones music, and told me that i needed to get off the phone at one point for absolutely no reason.

The only problem I encountered was finding where at Hancock Int. the Trailways terminal was located. Turns out there is no terminal, just a very poorly marked outdoor bus stop that Home Land Security didn’t even know existed! Seriously? I found it though with assistance from a cab driver which I feel needs to CHANGE!!

The bus driver was very rude, my seat was broken and it was filthy inside. I got at my destination but that’s the only positive thing I can say.
