Very satisfied overall in spite of some delays. Very helpful staff at NY Port Authority saved me a good deal of time looking for the track for my connection to Montreal.

Completely dissatisfied with the service at the counter and the driver of the first bus between Philadelphia and New York. Two hours late and no willingness to make sure we can get a flight to New York. Fortunately, in New York, two drivers fought to get us to Montreal. So a more than divided opinion.

The buses almost always left at least a little late. The one from Albany to Montreal left almost an hour late. On that bus, the outlets didn’t work and neither did the WiFi. It could have been worse but also could have been much better.

Turning the lights on and off sporadically during a night bus ride made it hard to sleep. Got a seat number that did not exist on this bus and caused a lot of confusion.
