My departure trip was great and the driver was very delightful and informative. But, my return trip was totally the opposite along with a break down in Philadelphia. Penn. I can't understand why there was no restroom accommodations at the Philadelphia bus depot. Overall my trip was good.

The bus was in total disrepair. There was lots of strange noice from the engine as well as sparks visible from the window. I did not think the bus was going to make betwee Philly and Atlantic City.
