FlixBus Champaign Columbus recent customer reviews

No driver to drive the bus from Indianapolis to Ohio. Had to sit for 12hrs. The customer service is horrible. The drives are grumpy & rude. Never experienced, anything like this since I've been catching the greyhound since 08. Y'all gotta do better. This is crazy. The station is very dirty loud & smells
