On my trip to New York City, I was looking for a day trip and came across the idea of spending it in Boston. With the help of Flixbus, I was in Boston in about four and a half hours and we arrived on time. I found the journey very pleasant, as the seats were well upholstered and there was plenty of space. The price-performance ratio was absolutely right and I couldn't have been happier. It is also very practical that there were many different departure times.
