FlixBus New York Washington recent customer reviews

The driver was very rude and although we have arrived at the destination a little earlier, the whole way he was hitting brakes and jerking the bus. My son and I felt unsafe the whole way. Also, the driver did not announce the stop when we arrived at the Union Station (DC) before our last stop (Rosslyn, VA) and people were getting off thinking it was the final stop. I would not recommend taking this bus

Seat wasn't very comfortable. My seat didn't recline. I noticed foot rests were missing some places. The bus looked really worn. Bus driver honked excessively through the trip.

Got to Washington Union terminal an hour Late. Upset my plans big time. I got stranded along with my family before figuring out the right course of action for myself and then. Missed out on an important dinner appointment and a pickup arrangement. All plans for the evening got screwed up.Nobody ever informed me about the potential delay nor did they ever apologize about it. Ridiculous. My first ever travel with greyhound. I was let down in their reputation of what I had in my mind.

Older bus. Need hand sanitizer in the bath rooms. Wi fi was spotty. Engaging and pleasant driver W. Williams but arrived more than 30 minutes late in NYC and stopped 2x en route.

The bus left on time,gave free water,and made an announcement about everyone being courteous with cell phone usage and no using speakers. I didn't enjoy taking out my own bag,nor the fact that the reading light didn't work as I and another passenger wanted to continue reading when it got dark outside,but the light switch didn't work. Other than that great ride.
