FlixBus New Orleans Houston recent customer reviews
Loved the fact that they were on time and all stops were smooth along with a very smooth a fast ride. Made it early actually which was amazing! Bad thing the bus driver was kind of rude. We are all adults and should be able to talk as long as it’s kept at a low tone. But to expect us to be in total silence or get put off the bus was a little extreme. Other than that great experience.

Got to the station at 5:30 ready for departure at 6:25pm to only be told that the bus is running 3 hours late. Horrible
