I'm bad at telling stories and even worse at typing them....
The bus leaves at 1 am so everyone sleeps on the way up. We were going through the eastern shore and I couldn't sleep. I was in the aisle seat and just looking through the windshield. I see the driver get up out of the seat while still hanging on to the steering wheel with one hand. I start freaking out. As I do another asian dude jumps in the seat to take over. I woke my friend up but he didn't care much. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep on the way up.
They oversell seats so get in line as quick as you can when the bus gets there. They'll leave you.
Basically, it isn't safe, it is ghetto, it smells bad, and you end up in Chinatown. But it is cheap and gets you there in less than 7 hours. No stops on the way up and one stop on the way down.
It is an interesting experience.
That doesn't sound THAT bad. Ill just get there early.
