Just like making a stop at Okene when traveling to Abuja by road or stopping at Ughelli when traveling to Portharcourt, we made a quick stop at Springfield, Massachusetts for 20mins

The driver will chop free food there. His passengers are indirectly paying for his food by making snack purchases.

Lol.

After many years of hearing about Times Square, I visited the place this night to at least get a sneak peek of how it looks. It’s Awesome


Times Square, such a wonderful place with unique settings! There is a particular area you will be at the square; and you will see yourself on a screen live. Such a nice place.

I got to the station at exactly 6:10am, Checked in and got a parking permit for my car.
The bus driver is a very rude Jamaican man with poor customer service, I’m going to report him to the company after the trip, that’s if we don’t fight before we get to NY

You have not started the journey you were already fighting the driver.

You must have been born in AJ in Lagos.

Guys I just checked in my Airbnb apartment. Menh New york is a bubbling and busy city menh

I used to live in queens and just 5 minutes to JFK. Was always using the A train to Manhattan for my daily commute to work since driving was a waste of time due to the heavy traffics on the road and limited parking areas.

Enjoy your stay and also make sure you go to downtown especially Time Square for some tourist experiences.

Stay away from Brooklyn.

I’m very disappointed with the wifi services in the bus. This is my first time using this company called greyhound and I’m already regretting it.
It’s a 7 hrs journey and the bus has no wifi
Worst 4 days of my life, taking Bus from Aberdeen SD to New York in 2014. Since then I haven’t step on a bus. When I saw that you were using bus, I know u going to regret it.

I live in one of the New England states in America. One of the intriguing things about these states is the naming of the cities and town. A vast majority of the towns are named after England.
You gonna see names like New Hampshire, Manchester, New London etc
thats cos they gain their independence from the British...

This is actually my first time to New York. I have been living in the New England region for quite some time now and my popular route is New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. Today is my first time of leaving the New England area.
So my gist: After dropping from the bus, I had a tough time using the subway. The Address that the Airbnb host sent me was incomplete, the people I showed the address couldn’t make sense of the direction via Subway. Nevertheless, I entered the subway only to discover that I need a Metro Card to access the train. After wondering helplessly in the subway, a good Samaritan offered to use her card to give me the pass.
I entered the subway and started another round of rigmarole. The first train I entered took me to Manhattan, my Airbnb apartment is at Brooklyn.
I contacted the guy and after much explanation, I stopped at a particular train terminal and entered the right train in the proper direction. For the first time in my life I felt so clueless.

Lol, you just reminded me of my subway experiences.

That is if your head remained intact by the time you reached Maiduguri.

Benin bus drivers do more worse than that man . Ever been told by the Jamaican driver that he cut your head off and use it for palm wine glass cup But Benin drivers and the indgenes re known for violence talk and abuse . "I GO TEAR YOUR HEAD" it's a common cliche If we look Am sef if e be set na you go find that epa trouble sef. A normal Benin go always show trouble anywhere . Italy is a perfect example

Breakfast is served. The diversity of this city is stunning. I haven’t met any caucasian since I came.
My airbnb host is Latino, the restaurant I had dinner last night was Arabian. This breakfast restaurant is also run by Arabs
