Lake Placid & the Adirondacks are part of an amazing region. Cars are really the only feasible way around yet downgrade the environment & can be too expensive for some. Trailways should be commended as a safe & inexpensive way to visit

The bus was fairly comfortable and got us to the destination on time. WiFi did not work on the bus. The driver was friendly. His driving was not particularly smooth; one of us felt motion-sick for most of the journey.
