Actually really good this time! The bus arrived on-time and got to the airport early. Normally Trailways late arriving, so this was a very pleasant difference. Only complaint would be that the bus had a good amount of people on it, but that isn’t really a problem

The Adirondack Trailways bus ride was very pleasant. The driver was very formal, humorous, and respectful. The ride itself while a bit bumpy at times, was very soothing, there weren't any times where I thought we were going too fast, speeding, or any other dangerous driving habits. Overall, very pleasant, affordable. I do recommend using the Adirondack Trailways to anyone who needs to go far in the north country, who does/cannot drive there.

Will continue to use this service — this is the first time I’ve ever had a bus so late with this company, but I understand that things happen. Arrived safely, and that’s what matters.
