Passengers have reported that the bus service arrived in New York ahead of schedule, which was appreciated. However, there are concerns about safety due to a driver rushing during the trip and stopping abruptly at a crossing. Despite these issues, arriving early seems to be consistent across experiences.

bbbus.com Norfolk New York City recent customer reviews

the driver came to NORFOLK station with approx 10 min delay so we started travel with 15 min delay. it was not a problem because reducing this delay on 6,5 hrs trip shouldn't be hard. to my surprise the driver was rushing headlong most of the route, regardless of the weather conditions and passangers' safety. once wile approaching the crossing, the red light appeared so suddenly, that he stopped the vehicle on the middle of the crossing. as a result he came to the NY 30 min before planned time. somebody should to explain him that safety plays the first role.

Greyhound bus station in Norfolk was closed and I was not informed to catch the bus elsewhere. Which made me miss the bus. So I had to travel to Richmond to catch the bus at a later time. Which was a great inconvenience.

During the delays, the staff did not seem to care to inform us of what the issues was or what time we would be getting to our destination. We had to wait in our connection for over 2 hours just to be last to board a bus that already had previous passengers on it. Overall, the experience was very bad and we all felt very "left out in the cold" by most of the staff.

Lots of stops which makes it slow, but other than that it’s nice. Elastic water bottle holds on the backs of the seats which wonderful. Why doesn’t everyone have this?

Customers express dissatisfaction with the service, specifically mentioning delays and late arrivals. These issues seem to be consistent across multiple reviews. Additionally, one review mentions poor bus maintenance as a possible factor for the negative experience. The AC was not working properly and the buses arrived very late, deviating from their scheduled itinerary. Customers also mentioned that it would be helpful to have clear signs indicating where the bus stops are located along the route.

The bus was filthy, seats broken, there were underwear by my feet and food spilled everywhere in the back. The bus also did not drop us where it said it would on the ticket.

Overall it was an okay trip. I just hate it that it was a young man in the back playing his music off of his cell phone it really bother a lot of customers. As well as I wish they would stick by the 15 minute policy when they stop. Because of the customers we were late by at least 30 minutes
