I was waiting in Indianapolis for my parents (who didn't have a phone on them since they're traveling internationally) to arrive from Chicago but the bus was severely delayed, by almost 90 minutes! However, the FlixBus tracker said the bus was on-time and in fact, in Bloomington after going past Indianapolis! I couldn't find a customer service number for FlixBus. When a fellow passenger called Greyhound (who I'm told is a partner), we were informed the same and that the driver had headed to Bloomington somehow skipping Indianapolis. This caused a whole lot of confusion for everyone around and a couple of them who were waiting for this bus went on to reschedule their bus trip to Atlanta (the next major destination on this route). Needless to say, I was really concerned about my parents' safety as I didn't know where I could even meet them -Bloomington or some other place altogether! FlixBus needs to have accurate tracking and for God's sake, a valid customer service unit available by phone.
According to 66 reviews, Greyhound received a 3.6-star rating for this journey. Travellers were especially satisfied with the staff and the temperature, but some complained about the seats. Greyhound ticket prices on this trip start at £28
Greyhound Lines, Inc. Chicago Indianapolis recent customer reviews
The drivers was friendly and helpful. Loved her. The bus was old and barely made it to Indy. I have ANC headphones and I could hear the loud bus the whole way.

No assistance in putting luggage into the bus. Seats were in need of refurbishment as they were peeling and exposed.
