I took a $180 'first-class' bus from New York City to Washington, DC. Here's are 7 reasons it was totally worth it.

Each passenger is offered two complimentary alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or seltzer) alongside free water bottles.

Although the snack selection probably could've been taken up a notch (or offered for free), the $1 sticker wasn't bad.

According to the website, The Jet's unique memory-foam Hoverseats use "motion-canceling technology that eliminates 90% of all bumps and vibration from the road."

Sitting on them was unlike anything I've tried before. It almost replicated the comfort and calmness of sitting on your favorite chair at home but on a busy highway with stop-and-go traffic and potholes.

There was something so incredibly cool about watching the chairs subtly bop around me, absorbing any unwanted bumps or jerks.

I wish all buses, planes, and trains had this technology. Hoverseats on an airplane in turbulence could completely change how I fly.

My experience with bus staff is usually just saying hello and thank you to the drivers. When I heard that every Jet bus comes with an attendant, I was immediately excited to see what kind of service we'd get.

The attendant started the trip by handing everyone warm towels and showing newcomers how the seats worked. They then served the free drink service, handed out blankets, and ensured our tray tables were always kept clean.

I've pretty much followed the unspoken rule of not using a bus bathroom unless it's an emergency. But on The Jet, I didn't have to worry about that.

The attendant maintained the bathroom throughout the ride, so it was always clean. It also had a nice backlit mirror, a full-length mirror, and a large sink.

As a writer, I like to keep my laptop and book accessible at all times. But the legroom on The Jet is so massive that my legs were extended and I couldn't even graze the back of the chair in front of me.

Observing some more frequent riders, they seemed to have a system of stacking their items on the floor under or by them so they could rest their legs.

The Virgo in me desperately wanted a reachable cubby or seat pocket I could use for storage, but the ability to stretch out at a 45-degree angle and lift my leg rest was a worthy trade-off.

I get some of my best work done on travel days when there are few distractions and I'm forced to stay in my seat. But the excitement of a productive day is cut short when the Wi-Fi is choppy, limited, or not working altogether.

The Jet had fast enough Wi-Fi speeds that my fiancé could stream his favorite movies and I could work on large files without any lagging or interrupted service.

Even though traffic is entirely out of anyone's control, it was a nice touch that we were offered a 10% discount on our next Jet trip because we ended up running a little behind schedule.
