    didn't end up travelling with them because my travel plans changed but I did enjoy their customer…read moreservice with cancelling my trip. I forgot to cancel more than 24 hours before so I was able to get a credit of my trip and will be able to use that credit for the next time I want to travel which I appreciate.

    We picked up OurBus right across from the Javits Center, in the middle of the street…read more The storage bins were labeled, one for Baltimore, the other for DC. He scanned our ticket and we boarded. The bus was pretty full, so we ended up sitting separately. The above head storage bins are kind of tight, so I had to take something out of my over stuffed backpack to manage to wiggle it in. While my purse sat on my lap. I liked the foot rest and the hook on the handle on the seat in front of me. Trash bags were hung here and there. Looks like they also provided small bottles of water for us, though we had to grab those ourselves. The electric plugs didn't seem to work, but perhaps the ubs plugs in the ceiling did. Our driver was a great communicator. He set expectations so we knew that we had a 20 min rest stop before arriving at Baltimore, and pointed out things to help us to pay attention and to get back to the right bus. He warned us that given current construction that we were sure to arrive later than what our tickets said, and gave us his best eta given the circumstances. Another passenger later commented that the bus bathroom was clean. We kind of ended up being dropped off on a brightly painted bridge in the middle of no where - perhaps on Maryland Ave?, by a bus stop. A short walk from Penn Station.

    $30 RT to Atlantic City on a weekday and they give you $30 slots play money + $15 food credit?…read more Hmm, not bad. Hopping on at convenient Borough Hall (Bklyn) at 9:25pm meant we were the 3rd to last pickup -- we snagged 2 of the last 7 seats, but my bf had to sit next to a weird smelly fat man (you can imagine the type) and I was almost trapped next to the bathroom (but was saved by my tricksy maneuvers!). Traffic to the Jersey shore on Independence Day weekend was challenging, but we arrived by 12:30, which is still reasonable (avg is 2.5 hrs). They played bad movies on the way (Fireproof + Obsessed) and the ride itself was otherwise uneventful. For the return trip, the bus arrived exactly at 6:10pm like they told us and I got back to Borough Hall at 8:30pm. PROS: - They advertise clearly online and flyers are available at the newsstands mentioned on their website. - The newsstand guy at Borough Hall was completely knowledgeable about the details, and even called to verify while I was there. (Other guys at the newsstands selling rival bus tickets knew nada.) - Punctuality. - Everyone must sit in the same seats for the return trip (smart move, to avoid cranky passengers whose "better seats" were swiped by earlycomers on the way home, but kinda sucks if you arrived early to snag a better seat like we did -- AND still had to sit next to the smelly fat man). CONS: - Their website isn't updated with the correct pickup times. Check with the newsstand guy who sells you tickets. - If you get on at the first pickup in Queens you have your choice of seats, but have to sit thru 1.5 hrs of meandering thru NYC picking up more passengers. - If you're at the last pickup and there are no more seats, you're sh*t outta luck, even if you already bought your ticket. - I felt like the $15 food credit wasn't a great incentive since I wanted to eat elsewhere but felt like I couldn't "waste" the credit. Plus, the buffet at Tropicana doesn't open til 4pm and the line at the one other eatery where it could be redeemed had massive lines!! - $40 on weekends, but the same promo offers - not worth it. Verdict? Next time I'll head into slightly less convenient Chinatown instead for the $15-20 RT buses (with $20+ play money, but no buffet). One bus company in particular drops you off at Caesars, which is closer to the center of the Boardwalk and the Piers and Outlet shops, and the bus won't make fifty billions stops to pick up passengers before leaving NYC.

    NO STARS !!!! On a Tuesday, bought 2 tickets in Massapequa, only to find out a half hour later that…read morethe bus bypassed the stop. 1. excuse from card store - driver forgot 2. excuse from bus company - the filled up; 1st come- 1st serve with an attitude that made me livid!! If they filled up, why couldn't the dispatcher call the store so we could go somewhere else; when I called to advise they did not return my call
