FlixBus Ottawa New York City recent customer reviews

(+)Nice service for its price. Trip tracker was useful and ttavel instructions were easy to understand. (-)The route was awful. 28hrs of travel time is too much to offer as a ticket (even as a cheap one). Only offering more direct routes would be better. Bus numbers rarely matched what showed in the itinerary. Live update system needs more work. Wi-fi network was unreliable.
