OurBus Ithaca Rochester recent customer reviews
I was really upset that my bus was late, especially when it was going to the airport for my flight that I could not miss. I couldn’t even track the bus because the app crashed every time I did. The bus left Ithaca at 2:15 and was supposed to leave at 1:30. Luckily when we called and explained the situation, the driver cut out a stop to make it to Rochester sooner, arriving only 15 minutes after the expected arrival. They were very quick to help but I should never have been in that situation to begin with.

I didn't make my bus so I cant rate. It didn't give me the option to state that without going through the entire survey.

We waited at the bus stop and the bus never came or missed us. The lady I talked to on the phone said she was going to give us a 50% discount in a email and never did
