Megabus US Pittsburgh New York recent customer reviews

Loved: I was alone for 2 seats. Did not love: the way a driver treated me. I think I had a challenge of language barrier, I was not understanding his speech sometimes. When I came up to him to clarify the things, he started to get angry and was frustrated. therefore, when he sees people coming to him to clarify somethings, I would suggest to gently explain everything instead getting emotional and angry. Thanks.
