FlixBus Rochester New York City recent customer reviews
Most everything was great. Kind, professional driver with no problems during the ride. I would have liked to know how long each stop would be ahead of time, however. That way if I need food I can plan on grabbing some during a 15 minute stop as opposed to a 5 minute stop.

I didn’t enjoy anything about the trip. It was extremely late for departure and arrival and none of the phone outlet sockets work.

Valencia M.
The bus I rode on had a malfunctioning heating/cooling system, so the atmosphere on the bus was extremely, uncomfortably hot for the trip from Rochester to NYC. Also, it was raining and the roof escape hatch was leaky. The seat back charging stations at my seat and the one across the aisle were not working.

I didn’t like it at all. Extremely uncomfortable bus. Bus seems very old and bad seats. Bus was very late as well. It should be refunded :(

Bus was absolutely disgusting. They offered a $10 coupon for how upset I was. Will never use greyhound again. Worst bus line. Always filthy and late.

It wasn't being late that bothered me but the lack of stops, I'd happily be a half-hour longer and have a break.
3 out of 5 stars
Phillip S.
I took the bus for the first time. It was a good experience. The bus left and reached on time. I wish there was a short 10-15 mins break though. Also the driver could be a little smiling, he was nice otherwise.

Wanda Coach Rochester New York City recent customer reviews
My ticket was for a nonexistent bus for the time/date I purchased it for. They informed me the bus wasn’t coming until the following day despite showing up at the accurate time and date as shown on ticket. I had to call when it didn’t show up on time, and learned of this situation. I was lucky to find an alternate bus line to help me make it in time for my flight the following day.
