I totally forgot about Limo Liner. I'm thinking of taking it this Thursday morning.

I tried it once round trip. WiFi was so-so, a bit spotty at times, seats weren't bad, but at the end of the day it's still a pricey bus. The bathroom was decent, meaning I didn't get the typical $5 of negative utility penalty when I have to use a bus bathroom.

My NYC->BOS leg I was in the left aisle (single seat, no neighbors on either side), which was a much much more enjoyable experience than the BOS->NYC leg when I had to sit next to neighbors in the back-right of the bus.

Oh yes, unlike the Chinatown buses, I don't recall the driver talking on a cell phone the entire time.

How did it compare to Bolt, besides the massive difference in price?

Thanks for the notes! Did they have free coffee on the Limo Liner? That may be a plus.

Just bought my ticket (somehow Amtrak let me cancel my Accela ticket) for Thurs. We'll see how it goes =)

I've tried LimoLiner a few times, however the price has gotten a bit too steep for me. The last time was about 3 years.

They provided tea, coffee, water, and they provide you with a decent snack; a decent wee sandwich that's much better than you'd get on the train. It's not enough food to substitute for dinner (maybe they'd give you a 2nd sandwich if you ask), but enough to keep you going till dinner.
