There are also a fair number of people who are unfamiliar with the concept of shared public space and who think the seat next to them on a very full bus is for their package or purse. after waiting for an hour, most people already in line will not allow this to happen. or at least those that TRY to jump the line, arriving just a few minutes before the scheduled departure. Most passengers are fine, but there invariably will be line jumpers. and with fewer busses running, this happens quite a bit. you have to wait an hour or two till the next bus. it doesn't make its second stop and no additional bus is sent for the waiting passengers. That is because some busses originate at one casino before moving on to pick up passengers at another casino. even then, there's no guarantee you'll get on it, even if you're at the front of the line. They've recently reduced the number of busses/trips, so be prepared to line up in AC for the return trip at least an hour before the bus you wish to take. that's convenient, but that's also a problem. academy lets you return up to four days later from any casino they service. Unlike regular megabus service, you don't have to specify a day and time for your return trip. the trip takes about two and a half hours, with no traffic. the trip going down is usually pretty good, although it gets very crowded on fridays and saturdays. arrive early or late and your ticket is invalid. Megabus sells you the e-ticket, but you travel on academy bus lines' scheduled service from port authority at the specific time you've chosen online and that's noted on your e-ticket confirmation.

It's not really a megabus (the large comfortable wifi-equipped busses that go to baltimore, boston and washington or other large cities).
