FlixBus San Diego Oceanside recent customer reviews

During the ticket purchase process the price went from $3 to $18, plus tax $21.99 Then It left 10 min early, so anyone arriving closer to its actual departure time will have missed it and worst of all the temperature inside the bus was freezing cold. I got literally sick on the bus and spend the next 2 of my 4 vacation days in bed running a fever, headache and chills.
