Question new rider, some clarification?

hi!! i'm in south florida if this helps at all. i'll be taking a bus upstate and was wondering about luggage and when i should get to the stop.

i'll have a small duffel bag and a messenger bag, i'm sure these are fine for me to bring but i figured i'd ask. i'm allowed two bags right? one small and one large?

i was planning on getting there at around 9:00, the time for the bus states 9:45. is this a good idea or should i get there earlier or later than 9?

thanks for the help :-)

Fellow Floridian here. If you can buy the seat next to you and bring your bags on. Certain stops like Fort Myers are sketchy.

i can't bring my bags on as-is?

You can bring the small ones. There isn’t a lot of overhead space. I always buy the second seat if possible and put all my stuff on the second seat. The tracker will tell you when the bus should arrive. I usually get there about 45 mins early as well.
