I was very upset with this trip. We had a transfer in NY at 6pm and the bus was supposed to get to NY by 5pm, so we should have had an hour layover but we didn’t even get to NY until after 6pm! So we missed the transfer! The bus driver showed up late in Hartford and then took an extra long route to NY for some reason. It should have taken a little over 2 hours to get to NY from HARTFORD but it took over 4 hours somehow! Since we missed our transfer, we had to take the next bus and when I went to get our tickets reissued, they tried to charge me extra!!! So.. We should have been in Philadelphia by 7pm but we didn’t end up getting to philly until after 9:30pm!! Crazy.
