Megabus Inverness Edinburgh recent customer reviews

Experience was awful. We came to Edinburgh almost two hours after arrival time. Driver was so slow when control passenger tickets. And kick us out from bus somewhere after Perth. Other bus was overcrowded.

Really nice bus driver, although seats are really tight and the heating was at 36 degrees the whole journey. Deeply uncomfortable journey…..wish I had taken the train….
