FlixBus New York City Washington recent customer reviews
Awful. The bus was 40 minutes into the ride when I got a text saying the bus was canceled. The driver was already turned around heading back to the city. No announcement from the driver, no solution. Then sat in horrendous traffic to get back
into the city. Awful.

The train was an hour and a half late. We didn’t have a seat for the first 20 minutes, and it was boiling in the cars.

Andrew M.
Track number was announced very late. Business carriage was far away from the access point to platform and we had to get there in a hurry because there was no possibility to prepare for boarding. A good practice would be eg. separate queue for business class like on airports. Train was very late (35 min) on the final station.
