Good experience. Only thing that could be improved is the address of the stations should be included on the tickets. It was very confusing to have to Google where in San Francisco to go to be picked up.

Our bus was supposed to leave at 11. The staff was hardly around for getting information. We didn't leave Oakland for 5 hours. Instead of just letting us know or giving alternation patches we were told it will be here when it gets here

Was not given a reason why the bus we’re going to be 30 minutes late. I believe the buses should arrive on time.

FlixBus San Francisco Sacramento recent customer reviews
The driver insisted on keeping the bus at a freezing temperature of 57F throughout the trip. Even after a few passengers asked him to increase the temperature, he refused because he was hot. It was like riding in an refrigerator for 2 hours.
2 out of 5 stars
Rina G.
The ride was on time. The bus was very good but the driver had an attitude, I was trying to find out if this bus was the one for me. The driver yelled at me saying I'm on my break don't bother me
4 out of 5 stars
Mitchell M.
I wouldn’t say I enjoyed any part of the day that was wasted by FlixBus. Our bus after multiple delays didn’t show. Still nothing saying it as cancelled. I’m literally on their later bus I took the chance and changed my bus too. Standing on the side of a road, not even a proper bus stop getting burnt and nowhere to sit just waiting 4.5 hours was not my idea of an enjoyable trip. Do better on communication.
