It was horrible, I bought my daughter a ticket from Tampa to Indiana with 2 transfers. Her ticket scanned and she boarded the bus when she got to the first stop/transfer her ticket wouldn’t scan and the driver refused to call anyone and left her stranded at 10:30pm in a very unsafe environment. I ultimately ended up paying for an uber back to Tampa and I have just booked her a plane ticket home instead. When I called the flixbus customer service number they told me there was nothing they could do but but another ticket. I would never use this again.

I'm still on the road, do not get home until 6 in the morning. A trip one day ending up to be two days, no one can explain it to me, why I spent a night in Orlando bus station, except the clerk just giving attitude. I regret travel from greyhound, but that's the last time travel through greyhound.
