Tornado Bus Austin McAllen recent customer reviews
The bus was supposed arrive at the station at 4:30pm. It went over by almost 2 hours. It had an uneccesary stop for gas after just having stoped at San Antonio. The bus did not have any wifi or power supply as promise. The entertainment screen was also shut off.

Terrible. There is not a secure bus station and riders are expected to wait in sketchy parking lots or dangerous areas.

Customer service in Austin Tx was perfect but in San Antonio Tx
nobody wanted to help me with my luggage even if I got the disable labels on them and in the same San Antonio tx nobody said anything about people cutting the line to get in the bus and we, the disabled people have to be there having all kind of difficulties to get in the bus
