I would take the train again. It was easy and very comfortable. The food options were somewhat limited because they had not received all the veggie snack packages they had expected.

my problem is that on the first bus I needed to get on my bus driver looked at my ticket and said that there was an issue because the bus terminal at schnectady would close at at but my bus would not arrive until 9 due to that I was told to take another bus at the downtown Albany bus terminal to buffalo.
Because of this I had to find another hotel to stay in for the night at buffalo because the hotel I had booked would not let me check in earlier.
