Do you kind folks out there think the bus from Boston to Buffalo NY and back is more comfortable than the train?... all things considered
WOW !!! You ask some questions. Being an Amtrak site 99% of those on here are going to say train. But let me explain why. Although the bus may be more punctual you can move around the train anytime you want. You have, at the very least, a cafe car to serve food and drink. You have a batroom in each car and train crew that will see to your needs. To me the bus is like being convicted to prison~ you never know who your cell mates are going to be. I doubt you find anyone to vote for the bus.Do you kind folks out there think the bus from Boston to Buffalo NY and back is more comfortable than the train?... all things considered
Pillows, "Why are we sitting in this siding so long?", meal reservations and service, the proverbial "When are we going to get there?" among a host of other questions that I'm sure you will have.Thank you had8ley !
What can you ask the train crew for?...
It depends on the weather, esp. in the wintertime on the road, traffic, age of bus, comfortable seats, range, etc.Do you kind folks out there think the bus from Boston to Buffalo NY and back is more comfortable than the train?... all things considered

Around the web where would there be any comprehensive type of listings of all the kinds of services, amenities you might ask the train crew for?... on the Boston-Buffalo, Buffalo-Boston Lake Shore LimitedPillows, "Why are we sitting in this siding so long?", meal reservations and service, the proverbial "When are we going to get there?" among a host of other questions that I'm sure you will have.Thank you had8ley !

I agree with you, I hate riding bus if it's a long distance, like 5 hours. I've rode bus when I was in high school, from CA to Colorado on church youth retreat, and back. It's very hard to sleep. And it's freezing! Someone made a rude gesture or remark at a female while she was in a bathroom. She came out crying. Privacy in bathroom is like a very thin wall.I've never taken a bus on that route, but I used to take 5 hour trips quite regularly - I hated it, and I can't imagine taking a longer trip than that. First of all, there's the restroom issue. A bus only has one, and it's not exactly the most luxurious (or even private) place on a bus. Secondly, as others have mentioned, there's nowhere to go on a bus - you're stuck in your seat. So, I'd put a bus in the same category as air travel, more or less, except that air travel normally has flight attendants, food, movies, etc. In my opinion, the bus is the worst of all forms of travel.
