The toilet was clean. The journey was smooth. There was airco. There was no music. All the above are things I appreciate. The driver was helpful enough albeit not forthcoming with info like- which stops will be where or when arrived.

Sarah D.
Mostly good service, however the bus driver did not know where the stops were, people on the bus had to direct him where to go. Feels incredibly unprofessional and meant we were driving around one town in circles, which led to us being late.
3 out of 5 stars
Faye B.
It was not very good. First, my bus time was change a day before and it didn’t work with my schedule, so I had to call their customer service couple of times to reschedule. Secondly, the bus was way too cold and passengers were frozen. I asked the bus driver to rise a temperature a little, but she didn’t listen to me. Thirdly, the buss was 1.5 hours late to arrive at NY. I had to cancel and reschedule my daughter’s harp lesson at the conservatory. I had horrible experience and will not use Flix Bus anymore.

Wanda Coach Washington New York City recent customer reviews
October 20, 2025: Today, the 1:30 pm bus from Washington DC to New York, NY was delayed by 1-1/2 hours. Although the pick up location (a gas station) was out in the open with no seating area, when the bus finally arrived the driver was rather unfriendly and made no apology for the delay. It was unclear if he had a good command of English since he said very little and mostly grunted at passengers. The trip was further delayed because the driver made a wrong turn when approaching the Deleware Bridge and the bus had to head back southwards to correct the error. The airco was blasting which made the 5 hour ride very uncomfortable; most passengers kept their coats on for the duration of the trip. Since it was a relatively warm October day, I believe that it was colder in the bus than it was on the outside. There was no wifi on the bus a standard amenity on most buses these days. A number of passengers were speaking on their cell phones throughout the trip using foul language. While I can't really blame the driver for the obscene language, I believe that the company should have a policy to announce at each stop that foul language will not be tolerated on their coaches under any circumstances. I think that the company should offer all passengers on this ride a discount voucher for their next trip with the company.

The ride was a bit longer than expected. The bus was late but at least there was covered area to wait in the rain. The bus was clean except for the bathroom which was very disgusting to be honest. The driver was pleasant and did a great job getting us safely to our destination.

The bus was delayed over an hour it was freezing cold outside waiting for it! . No reason a bus should state the time it’s coming and not arrive on that time . YALL GOTTA DO BETTER ! People won’t always be able to afford another one.
