Horrible, bus driver was just too new. He was running off the road on i95 and then didn’t know his bus was 12’ tall and tried to go through an overpass with 11.6’ clearance.

It was not very good. First, my bus time was change a day before and it didn’t work with my schedule, so I had to call their customer service couple of times to reschedule. Secondly, the bus was way too cold and passengers were frozen. I asked the bus driver to rise a temperature a little, but she didn’t listen to me. Thirdly, the buss was 1.5 hours late to arrive at NY. I had to cancel and reschedule my daughter’s harp lesson at the conservatory. I had horrible experience and will not use Flix Bus anymore.

By no fault of the driver, the bus was 1.5 hours late. In hindsight, I would have paid the extra money for a train ticket.

Nothing to be enjoyed. We left an hour late from DC after sitting in a packed train with no AC in 85 degree heat. Another half hour wait in Philly. No announcements or explanations.
