    The Big Bus is walk on walk off. You can walk around everything you want and make your way back to the stop. The buses come every 30 minutes so if one is full take the next one.

    They are seeing the city with training wheels.

    The bus is usually full, loud and you have to wait in lines and traffic… Literally the least fun part of NYC.

    UUHH

    Name one thing in NYC that isn’tFull and loud waiting in lines and has traffic….

    That is kind of the point of going to NYC.

      Like I said, in my OPINION it’s not worth it. I’ve been there and used them, the bottom has like no AC and is loud as shit.

      And waiting 30 min is beyond a colossal waste of time, in 30 min you can probably walk to where you wanted to go anyway and enjoy a snack on the way and actually enjoy the city.

        They come every 30 minutes so it is just a matter of timing.

        Walk everywhere you want to go… in NYC…. In August…. As a first time visitor.

          lol dude are you working for the company or some shit?? Walking in NYC is awesome and super easy and safe. Riding on a old ass stinky bus crammed with a 100 other tourists isn’t as awsome as you seem to think.

            I love NYC and trust me walking around that city in August is not something a first time visitor wants to do.

          I usually just buy a transit card and ride the subway. It’s immersive to the local NYC culture and safe *some limits apply. I’ve seen and met some interesting locals in my visits, but I always go with “If its late, take a cab” is my rule for transportation, and also if the train car is empty it’s for a good fucking reason so avoid it as well.
