FlixBus Miami Tampa recent customer reviews

It was a good ride the only thing the driver should at least tell the passenger how long his going to take more or less the only reason I’m saying this is because of me I’m a smoker and 6 hours with out smoking it’s a bit hard other than that I’ll definitely ride with you guys again

I wasn't satisfied with the long layover. The bus station was like a homeless shelter and the place felt unsanitary and was very smelly. A fight broke out in the facility

The driver was horribly mean to me. I have a broken leg and arm and she did not let me sit in the handicap seating and threatened to kick me off the bus for using my headphones 3 times. Very unprofessional
