OurBus Syracuse Buffalo recent customer reviews

The bus showed up late and arrived in Buffalo over an our late but it wasn't the bus drivers fault. Traffic was very very slow. The bus was well cooled and comfortable. The wifi would connect but nothing would ever load so I had to use my cell data but that's alright. Overall my experience with Ourbus was very good and if I need to go somewhere again I will be using Ourbus!
