The bus driver at first did not honor the ticket saying it was not there’s. Had to show email and receipt proof. The bus smelt like a urinal exploded. It was very unpleasant the whole ride. Some of the bus seats were uncomfortable and the recline did not work. The drive down however was smooth and quick.

Amtrak Raleigh New York recent customer reviews

The amtrak train was over 3 hours late. I missed my connection and had to run to grand central to pick up the metro train to get in at 2am rather then just after 10pm. Considering the issues with hygiene and that the food aboard train was served to me moldy I will drive or fly next time I travel.
