Horrible experience still have not arrived yet was suppose to be in Norfolk at 4:45am

A FANTASTIC trip. Very good driver, punctual and respectful. Welcomed everyone aboard. Smooth journey, early arrival.

I came from NYC to Va. Our bus broke down in Newark, NJ. After only coming from NYC. They had to send a bus from NYC. It took about 2 hours to receive the new bus. I was supposed to arrive in VA at 10:30pm. I didn’t arrive until 2:30. The bus driver was very comforting and doing his best in the situation. I think whomever is in charge of maintaining the upkeep of the bus needs to do a better job of making sure the bus is ready for travel so these situations can be avoided in the future.

The bus driver stopped for the 15 minute break. But took longer & let other people take their time. It ended up being an extra 10-15 minute break.

I will not use Sprinterbus again. Although the ride was fine going in, it was misleading for the ride to stop and for the passengers to wait for a van to take them to Norfolk . Additionally the sprinterbus staff could not tell us when the van would be coming which forced us all to find alternative cabs.
