I rode the Jet luxury coach bus from New York City to Washington, DC, for $180 one-way.
The seats were extremely comfortable, and I almost had too much legroom to work during the ride.

I'd mentally kind of given up on any hope of a luxurious trip between my home in New York City and my family in Washington, DC. I stopped taking regular coach buses long ago in favor of quick plane rides.

But thankfully, I was proven wrong. The Jet luxury bus provides a level of care and comfort that I'd expect to get from a top-rated, first-class cabin on an international flight.

I bought a $180 one-way ticket and was pleasantly surprised by the comfort, amenities, and outstanding service. Here are seven reasons why the five-hour trip was so great.

My ticket came with drinks, and I had the option to buy some cheap snacks to munch on.
