I didn’t enjoy nothing about the experience of the flixbus. One of the stops where I had to change buses and wait about 2 hours in the middle of a shopping center that everything is closed. Then to have a bus pick me up there at 6am. Is very wrong in so many ways.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. Miami Charlotte recent customer reviews

I enjoy that they are on time and some drivers are friendly. I lost a bag today when I was changing bus at. If they are going to trade buses like that they should just tell the people on it has to take it off and they just got to put back on. That’s it I would do that instead for how they have it.
