Edelmira L.
I was scheduled to leave San Antonio at 1 P.M. The bus was 20 minutes late. The clerk, Edgar, was incredibly helpful. He found me in the lobby to personally let me know the bus was leaving. We shook hands and I thanked him. I was told the bus was nonstop from San Antonio to Brownsville. We stopped in Riviera for snacks and Harlingen. Granted I'm the type to only stop for gas. It would be a terrible business practice to force other people to do the same. No sense in changing that policy.
Based on 39 reviews, the company was rated 3 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the staff but often complained with the value for money. Valley Transit ticket prices on this trip start at $46
