Horrible bud was delayed 2 hours broke down on the side of the highway for 1 hour had to wait at a Wawa gas station for 6 hours for a bus to show up. I missed my appointments and stuff. And I’m still not even in Buffalo yet
My trip to buffalo was cancelled last minute so it was a terrible experience because it messed up my entire plans.
The bus arrived 4 hours later than scheduled in NYC, the bus was in a very bad state, very dirty, with a broken window, the rain leaking inside from the roof, and electrical outlets didn't work, the bathroom was not operating. It was stuffy and packed and the driver looked fed up and wasn't at all approachable. And then we were late for even our 2nd option of a connecting bus from Syracuse to Buffalo. So we had to contact several Uber drivers who understandably refused to drive us the distance to Buffalo, but we eventually managed to hire an Uber in the middle of the night who we paid well above the rate in tips because we were so grateful to get home in time for work in 2 hours. We arrived in Buffalo absolutely shattered in the early hours of the morning. I am hoping the experience is not typically like this.

FlixBus New York Buffalo recent customer reviews
Our driver was not bad but other drivers of Flixbus were not co operative. Our bus was 15 minutes late to start.
The driver didn’t make us aware that our bus had arrived, nowhere could we see the bus number that we had on our tickets, the driver was rude and dismissive, the seats are uncomfortable, given the price that I had paid, I am incredibly disappointed.

OurBus New York Buffalo recent customer reviews
Bus arrives/leaves on time, complimentary water are good. Wifi is still unreliable and bad.
The bus driver was great. However the bus AC was not working and it was extremely hot. I was thankful that she organized the bus to be switched with a new bus with a working AC.
The bus driver was mentally unstable and lashed out at one customer who was listening to music using her headphones. Apparently her music was audible to him (we did not hear anything) and he said it was a "legal issue". He later called the state troopers on her. The whole time she was quiet and not bothering anyone. It was just disturbing to watch and we all felt uncomfortable and unsafe in the vehicle with the driver.
Customers have expressed satisfaction with the first-class bus travel experience, mentioning comfortable and reclining seats that made the 8.5-hour journey enjoyable. The buses were fully air-conditioned as well. However, some customers reported issues such as non-functional wifi and water dripping from the air conditioner, suggesting a need for better maintenance of bus quality. Overall, TRAILWAYS provides a pleasant travel experience comparable to other bus companies in terms of service quality.

Very pleasant experience. I knew only Greyhound so far. But, TRAILWAYS was as good as any other bus. But, I will always try to book TRAILWAYS first.
