4 Hours on "The JET" First Class Luxury Bus - New York to DC

[@rajbakshi5566]

The Jet is excellent. I did a round trip from DC to NY during Christmas and loved it. It is the equivalent of a first-class air ticket. However, the part most people forget to acknowledge is the added convenience. You can get to your pick-up stop 5 minutes before the scheduled departure and comfortably get on. Also, you don't have to pay for travel to and from an airport and there is no time wasted in security or check-in. Being picked up and dropped off in the middle of the city is a huge benefit.

I love how The Jet capitalizes on the remote workers. Air and Rail have unreliable Wi-Fi at best. For people that need to work on the go, this seems like one of the best options!

[@thejet5114]

We appreciate the review! Thanks for taking The Jet! We hope to have you aboard again soon.

[@youngcebcvaioz2588]

Finally, innovation on this type of transportation

[@VICTORY6443]

The seats are exactly what you get in semi trucks also known as air ride.

[@ahshuuun]

i wish they have the cocoon-style pod like those Japanese overnight buses has, but a good start for US long-haul bus travel!

[@EastofVictoriaPark]

@@ahshuuun This is a four hour trip. Four hour trips even in Japan wouldn't make sense to have pods!

[@d3kingg387]

Ricky made a score and had to transport the merchandise. It was beautiful. No dogs. No TSA. Brilliant.

Fanfic continues to impress

[@TheIBROWman]

how noticeable (or not noticeable) was the motion cancelling? i guess, is it more of a gimmick or did it really lessen how many bumps you felt by a good amount?

[@_Ricky]

I'd say it was quite effective and made the ride quite comfortable. Certainly when I stood up to use the bathroom I found the ride very bumpy, but upon sitting back down it felt quite smooth

[@Unknown_Ooh]

It feels no different than any other bus. Greyhound operates newer busses than "jet". It is slightly more comfortable than a Greyhound because of the space but not really worth the premium you pay.

[@JimDean002]

@@_Ricky I wonder how it compares to the air ride seat in a semi. That's the same basic idea. You ride on an airbag which cancels out the motion. It works really really well

[@poorlittlebiker6476]

I’ve driven a few various types of buses from coach buses to smaller shuttle buses and some school buses. The air ride seats (that are typically the drivers seat in commercial vehicles) are far better than fixed seats. It’s not until you have a long trip in a fixed sit being in front of all your axles that you appreciate air ride seats…..assuming they are adjusted to you that is 😂.

[@KeithApp]

This bus looks awesome. It has stewardesses on board and everything!

[@DrBearAviation]

Wow... this sets up the new standard for coach travel.

[@_Ricky]

Totally

[@kevanhubbard9673]

The problem with that low density seating is you have to charge a lot to break even unless you can attract a lot of upmarket people and in my experience upmarket people tend to prefer rail and air.

[@smithydll]

Truck seats work when you don’t have to get up and walk around. This is a confused service than wants to be a clean quiet and smooth electric train, but isn’t. Definitely take the Acela.

[@xXxXkuramaxXx]

So on a serious note, this is a premium traveling option for those who DISLIKE or a PHOBIA of air travel of any sort, BUT want the comfort and quality of going to different coasts. Because ultimately this is about the price of a plane ticket on average. Where’s air travel is faster. This could also serve as a good secondary option if flights decide to jack up their prices. It’s very situational.

[@AlCatSplat]

Rail already exists.

[@adimasguntur]

Its not much of a "premium" either. They should learn from Indonesian premium busses on how it should be.

[@42luke93]

They should’ve put more seats so it could cost less. Looks like they could have fit more.

[@Originalman144]

Looks like a nice experience and a great travel option. Not having to travel to NYC airports is always a plus. However, I still think the train is the most time efficient + comfort combination but train stations can suck as they are host to too many vagrants just outside and inside the station.

[@_Ricky]

Great points. Worth a try if you can snag the $99 price imo

[@nntflow7058]

Depends on the price.

[@iamdanyc93]

I’m thinking about investing in this company since it’s a seed funding round.

[@lolaw8295]

If you're thinking of investing, I'd wait. I'm not convinced they have the model down yet (I ride them three or four times a month). The 99 dollar price point has now become a 179 dollar price point permanently, and chstomers mow pay for beverages and refreshment. The customer base can't grow under these conditions - too much goes in favor of the train for now

[@Ti21452]

Are the snacks free/complimentary?

[@HangNguyen-mu1pv]

Well done❤

[@jellybeansi]

I'd be scared to not wear my seatbelt on the highway. Imagine getting into a crash/rollover. No amount of seat stabilization and luxury leather will negate that.

[@danogeto78]

Wow nice seats 💺

[@duanes2000]

I usually take BestBus when I take the bus between NYC and DC. Did the bus stop at one of the rest stops since it had snacks and a restroom?

[@_Ricky]

No stops, direct from city to city

[@jonathanmartinez-ke2to]

do they serve hot food?

[@LaPulgaM]

I've done this trip many times, in Bolt Bus, Megabus even Greyhound with tickets going around $25-$45. Still a bus, with bathroom, wifi, 'reclining seats' lol $99 and there's no window blinds?!?! NAH

[@RehanKhan-co2pr]

From delhi❤❤

[@jerseydevil1995]

$99 is a little too excessive for me for a bus to DC, even if it is in the lap of luxury. You still hit traffic either outside of DC or NYC. Personally, I'd save my coins just get a Megabus direct from NYC to DC for like 1/3rd of the cost.

[@jerseydevil1995]

And when I mean a third of the cost I really do mean a third of the cost. I just looked at our bus, megabus, and flixbus.

[@simondavey7787]

Can you take your own food and drink on board?

[@Indo432]

Interested in more major cities

[@XrodGaming]

Serving snacks and beverages must feel a bit awkward

[@_Ricky]

Yeah, the attendant was almost falling over a few times 😬

[@ImpureForce]

Good start, with the seats, bathroom and WiFi, but nowhere near the luxury overnight buses in Japan. 😮

[@donnatravel]

How many luggages can you put under the bus?

[@Rodolfobia]

thanks for the video! regarding the features of the bus, it didn't feel worth the price, specially since in many other countries you can get the 180° seat, privacy curtain and walls for half the price. Dunno about the air ride though.

[@alexfang6943]

Is it a paid advistment?

[@PatricksFinanzen]

Somehow I feel they could have used the space better and adding around 5-6 more passengers. Seemed more than enough space between the seats even when in "sleeping mode".

[@jtaclas]

anyone else got motion sickness from watching the motion canceling seats?

[@Harper210]

Lol woulda been nice to have this instead of the crappy bus that crashed when i went to dc for my summer camp

[@yaush_]

I prefer to walk

[@jeremyepstein7977]

I would argue there's almost TOO much legroom from the looks of it. If the seat went all the down to a bed or a true lounger that would make sense but this looks like a lot of wasted space that doesn't add to the luxury. The tray is also tiny for all that space.

[@riopianist]

It’s confirmed you are rich. Traveling from NYC to DC .. Either way you are New Yorker or DC’er, they are all rich people as living cost on both cities are pricey….

[@matthewburno]

That's kind of a cool concept, but honestly I'm not that impressed. There's not that many seating, which means it would eventually cost more to go this way because it's super convenient and you have to pay for the anti-gravity seats and the convenience of picking you up in downtown and dropping you off in downtown. I'd say they should modernize this concept for a train system and have these anti-gravity type seats in a train. This type of thing makes more sense as a private destination for business class. People that need to go from one work place another from one city to another without any commute in between. Again, this is a cool concept
