I did not enjoy my ride with FlixBus at all. The bus driver charged me $20 out of my pocket to board the bus, the bus was roach infested and had to kill several of them. Also, the bus was operating as if it would break down at any moment with sounds of rattling and unusual sounds coming from the vehicle.

Comfortable seating. Temperature was good. Could have been a little more prompt and driver should be more communicative. Also staff at terminal.should greet persons coming in and give them some guidance on the process , where to wait, which bus etc...especially for first time users of the service

The bus driver left without telling the passengers inside to board the bus.. the staff told us to wait inside until he was ready for us to board. He left without 8 of us. They called him and he had to turn around and come back to get us. Made us over one hour later. I was told I could get of At Pompano service station but the driver told me no.
