Nothing to improve from your side, thanks to the driver, who took me on earlier.
On time and helpful driver. App didn’t tell me it went to Victoria though. Only said Earl’s Court and drop off did t seem near the tube
There was no service. The tickets we were sent were for the wrong date and we were unable to change them at the National Express office. As the tickets were non-refundable we had to find and pay for another means of transport to London. Complete waste of time and money. Better to buy tickets direct from the coach company.
Based on 3238 reviews, the company was rated 3.7 stars on Busbud. Travellers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the cleanliness but often complained with the WiFi. Megabus UK ticket prices on this trip start at US$8.00

Having booked megabus journey from Gatwick to London weeks in advance due to threatened Aslef strikes on 30/01/24, found out the bus would be 2 hrs late, resulting in exorbitant taxi fare to London. Megabus Totally unreliable
we had bought tickets from gatwick airport to london but the bus didn't come at all, we were standing in the middle of the night at the airport with no way to get out, megabus is the worst means of transport, I absolutely do not recommend, the worst service in the world
I can't checking my flight
