Megabus Cardiff London recent customer reviews
The Asian driver was extremely rude and very aggressive when I got on the bus. There were only 4 other passengers on the bus. So i went to sit in the front seat, the driver then responded aggressively for me to go and sit towards the back I couldn't believe the way he spoke to me. I did not have a problem moving to another seat. I was taken aback by his delivery. Clearly needs training in customer service. How to speak to people properly. I will not recommend this service to anyone based on my experience.
It was poor, stop in Bristol for too long, the trip was below the standards I expected from megabus
