Getting on the bus was easy, I had my reservation number written on a piece of paper and showed it to the driver, he checked me off on a sheet, I gave my bag to the man putting them on the bus and got on. The bus was good, my first impressions of it were that it was very comfortable, nothing amazing but would serve me just perfect. Plus I had a seat all to myself. The bus was a double decker but it wasn't crammed full of seats. I did a bit of reading but found it hard to stay awake, every so often I would drift off to sleep and wake up halfway through a page. I would finish the page and fall asleep again. I slept for most of the journey in the end and it wasn't a long on, within two hours or so I was in downtown Manhattan.
