Rutledge Bus

I took the Wilmington, Delaware (West 4^th & Market, by Del-​Tech) to New York City route today. The Wilmington office has a ticket window, seating and standing area, ATM and restroom. Buses go to Smyrna, Delaware and NYC. There are generally two NYC stops, Chinatown in lower Manhattan and mid-​town Manhattan. I wanted to get off at mid-​town, but found out where we arrived that since the Pope is in town, the company is only utilizing the Chinatown location. The bus lets off close to the F train East Broadway stop though so it’s not a huge inconvenience.
The bus was scheduled to leave Wilmington at 11:45 AM, but departed shortly after 12 noon instead. I got my own 2 seat row and the seats were comfortable. I was able to take a nap. There are USB outlets on the ceiling for convenience. Also, there are foot rests which come in handy if anyone spills a drink, which my neighbor behind me did. There is also a shelf above the seats for small pieces of luggage, bags or coats. Word of wisdom, bring a jacket or sweater as the air conditioning on the bus is usually on pretty high. Trust me, you will thank me later!
The bathroom is not the prettiest thing and doesn’t smell like roses either. It’s basically a urinal style toilet. There are handrails that you can hold onto if you’re a female and squatting or hovering over it while you pee. I definitely recommend bringing your own toilet paper/​tissue and hand-​sanitizer as there aren’t either of those products in there. The windows are blocked so don’t worry about other motorists watching.
One way tickets are $ 20 and round trip is $ 30.
