Their internet and electrical outlets are unreliable. The only reason I'd ever chose them is because they have both internet and electrical outlets, while other companies don't. But in my extensive experience, their amenities work less than half of the time. When they don't work, their drivers are unapologetic and their customer service representatives are confrontational. I'll never spend a dollar of my travel money again on this company, which is just a subsidiary of Greyhound, so I'm not sure why I'm always surprised when stuff does not work.

The company of thugs stranded over 30 customers at Penn Station who had already waited three hours for a return trip to Washington, DC. Many had already paid. It took a sit-in by angry customers and a call to the police to get Eastern Travel to listen. They wouldn't answer phone calls from customers, the drivers or the New York Police. This company is a scam!!! Do NOT use Eastern Travel!! Here's footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ENx7gtrL7k Eastern Travel is HELL!!!

While it was cheap and had wifi, the seats were really small, just like a regular bus. No leather seats, no "extra" room - just as crappy a ride as a regular bus in terms of comfort. But it was nice to have wifi and no ridulously loud, stupid movie on that I don't want to watch and prevents me from being able to sleep. I took the bolt bus this past weekend.

It can be as much as $25 each way however, so book early! I found another BoltBus review here:

Apparently they credit the trip rewards to your account on the date of travel, not when it is booked. The 33rd St drop off location is right across from Penn Station, making it very easy to get out to LI if you don't have someone to pick you up in the city. It was way more convenient and MUCH cheaper than making the drive myself. I'll definitely ride them again.

Now it has. The dream came true. My only scruple is the carbon impact. I’ve always known that Bolt Bus will turn out well. Now it has. The dream came true. My only scruple is the carbon impact.
