FlixBus New York City Washington recent customer reviews
Awful. The bus was 40 minutes into the ride when I got a text saying the bus was canceled. The driver was already turned around heading back to the city. No announcement from the driver, no solution. Then sat in horrendous traffic to get back
into the city. Awful.

The listed departure location was very vague with no details (since the NY Port Authority Bus Terminal has dozens of pickup locations across multiple floors). This made it easy to miss the bus, especially for people not familiar with the location.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. New York City Washington recent customer reviews
This was way too dissatisfied with the trip, the bus was supposed to dropped me off at Union Station DC, it stopped at Baltimore, they kept giving assurance that they will pick me up to my final destination, I waited for four hours in vain, I had to hire a taxi after one of the staff told me, there is a delay for over 5 hours and she cannot guarantee even if I wait for that over 5 hours.

Melodee A.
The bus left on time,gave free water,and made an announcement about everyone being courteous with cell phone usage and no using speakers. I didn't enjoy taking out my own bag,nor the fact that the reading light didn't work as I and another passenger wanted to continue reading when it got dark outside,but the light switch didn't work. Other than that great ride.
