The driver was great. The bus was on time. What I didn’t like; bus was older, charging stations didn’t work and seatbelts were unreliable. The attendants at the NY station were kind of unprofessional.

Couldn’t charge my phone cause there were no outlets on the side of the bus I was sitting on and the bathroom was filthy

Jennifer P.

Where to begin? They were short staffed, had some guy from their garage driving us, he’d never been to Providence before and was asking the passengers for help navigating. He drove very slowly. The bus smelled like an outhouse, as usual. Please redesign the bathroom tech. We were over 1.5 late leaving and arriving.

My first time traveling with OurBus . I loved my journey, from my checking till I got off the bus. We left NYC on time and we arrived to Providence 10 minutes before the time they told us. The driver was very polite.

Bus left on time, and arrived in Providence, much earlier than indicated, and without any other stop. Stops at a very convinient place (Hilton), which we found to be very welcoming, as we arranged for our on ward transport. The bus starting point is also a convient location by the iconic UN building.
