Bus did not show up, and we missed a transfer. A one hour delay due to no show bus cost us an entire day of vacation as we waited for another bus that wasn't sold out to transport us. Customer service numbers/ booths were not open during travel, a major oversight. Horrible experience.

Peter Pan Hartford Philadelphia recent customer reviews

I was very upset with this trip. We had a transfer in NY at 6pm and the bus was supposed to get to NY by 5pm, so we should have had an hour layover but we didn’t even get to NY until after 6pm! So we missed the transfer! The bus driver showed up late in Hartford and then took an extra long route to NY for some reason. It should have taken a little over 2 hours to get to NY from HARTFORD but it took over 4 hours somehow! Since we missed our transfer, we had to take the next bus and when I went to get our tickets reissued, they tried to charge me extra!!! So.. We should have been in Philadelphia by 7pm but we didn’t end up getting to philly until after 9:30pm!! Crazy.

The service was very good. I arrived at my destination 2 hrs after schedule but that was due I think to heavy traffic on the route.
