Problems with payment system on changes made me worried about my next leg of journey for hours. Live ppl at station less than helpful (tho was able to communicate with the SM account somewhat)

I am not happy because the bus was late and after about 13 minutes I had to take a taxi otherwise I would not have made it to the plane.

Did not travel...I made a mistake...booked on the wrong date, waited 15 mins to speak to a call center person...said cannot help...no empathy at all..Megabus are a big company, I am sure they can consider genuine mistakes and surely can support customers who are travelling the very next day...I completely take the onus of the mistake...but I am sure the company could accommodate a single passenger on the next day who had already paid for the ticket...just due to various other issues in his life made a genuine mistake whilst booking

Be careful. I put down the wrong departure time (1240am vs 1240pm), tried to quickly correct it for 5 passengers and was told they could do nothing. Over 100 bps down the drain. Used Uber with no problem.

Once we found the bus station the rest was easy. We booked on the 10:00am bus but were early. The driver allowed us on the 8:10 bus at no extra charge.
