Go to Bus to Get Lost

One service we forgot to write about for the July 4th Weekend post is the Go To Bus. A friend of my husband recommended the bus service because she used it to come to New York. This was not our first experience on the bus, we used it before on a tour to Boston. We didn't have the best experience, but were desperate because we waited to book until the last minute.

We geared up for five hours of travel by getting a coffee and a muffin. The full stomach didn't prepare us for the big day of travel. We found out we were fortunate to have tickets to board the bus. We were lucky because lots of people were on standby. The only seats we found were at the front of the bus, but they seemed ok.

Everything was going fine on our trip until we started noticing little things here and there. Our bus driver didn't seem experienced enough. He started lightly hitting his leg as if he was a horse and was trying to make himself go faster. All this could be fine, but we lost total confidence when he stopped in the middle of the road to look at a map. I forgot to mention one thing, he had a GPS system that we could see from our seats. The weirdness didn't end there, the bus made one stop Baltimore before heading to DC. In Baltimore we were scorted by an employee of Go To because the bus driver didn't know where he was going. There were lots customers other than us volunteering to give him direction, but he didn't listen.

On the way back home from DC the only problem was getting a bus that was not full. The driver seemed experience and we didn't lose any time. If you want to travel and use the Go To Bus service I would recommend you skip holidays and days before or after holiday, otherwise you'll get stuck with whomever they can find to drive.
