    1. I believe you have eaten sufficient muffins to qualify for the Derpy Hooves Fan Club.

      That is a very nice bus, and if I ever do have to make that trip, I will put it at the top of my list for travel options.

    2. Those seats bouncing up and down look so trippy 🙂 And those shock absorbers got quite a large travel distance, no wonder it was a comfortable ride. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, pretty cool!

    3. Looks cool! I'm a little confused by the wood floor though, in bad weather that could easily be slippery! Seems like it needs more traction 😆

    4. If it is worth it would depend on what the price is for a normal bus like Greyhound and how long they take.I suspect,but not having done that trip,that they will be substantially cheaper and probably a bit slower.They'd be busier than the JET that is for sure.

    5. Looks like a great offering Kuga, though I think there is room for improvement, if The Jet people are reading this.
      I would opt for airbag suspension, and do away with the rollercoaster and costly to install and PITA to maintain individual suspended seating.
      This, combined with smaller wheels and larger tires (creates more cushion in the auto world .. I am a car / auto nerd ..), and would be a very plush ride.
      The wood floor is kinda weird, I get the ease of cleaning aspect, it looks Ikea to me. I would have gone with a luxury carpet for sound insulation benefits and befitting of premium coach travel.

    6. Looks a bit tacky imo! They need better flooring, and the seats look like they've been ripped out of a car! Doesn't look like its worth that sort of Price, but the experience was probably different!

    7. Too bad they are charging for food now. When I took it about 18 months ago the food and drink were included in the fare. You made great time though. My trip took almost 5 hours. You're really at the mercy of traffic conditions.

    8. Glad you enjoyed your ride to New York. That's where I'm from 😁
      The seats move like that so that you Don't Feel any Bumps or hole in the roads.
      American Trucks drivers have the Same Type of Seating while driving Our Harsh Roads.
      It's important for them to have proper Seating for long hauls.

    9. I'm not particularly impressed. The comfort level is good, but to be categorized as "First Class" and then charge for for food (snacks) and beverage and add a tip to it too much….that really isn't "First Class". At best it's Economy Plus.

    10. I've been watching all these new US-Canada videos and thinking… do you ever change your clothes? Or do you travel with a huge bag packed with identical shirts?! 🤔
