FlixBus Los Angeles Salinas recent customer reviews

This is my first time riding with Flix. A little confusing where to wait for the bus in Union Station Los Angeles CA. Lucky I read a post from a previous rider where exactly to wait . Also I wish there would be direct buses from Calexico CA to Salinas CA. I know I would have to transfer in Union Station L.A. but that would be ok.
