The bus was standard, comfortable, and not too crowded. The driver was direct and helpful. The stop in Baltimore was quick and easy. The driver was smart and knew how to avoid traffic and although there was a 10 minute delay we made great time. The price was fair for the ride.

First, I was put on the wrong bus, despite it being the only bus at the stop and being told that it was the correct bus. Then, when it didn't stop in Philadelphia I was told the next stop I could get off at was Trenton, NJ. The bus continued past Trenton, NJ nearly all the way to NY because the Trenton stop was closed. It took me 3.5 hours and $25 to get back to Philadelphia.
