FlixBus San Diego Houston recent customer reviews

My bus was running late so I lost my bus connection, then we were told to continue on that bus and at the end of the route they were gonna send us from Dallas to Houston which was our final stop. But after we arrive to Dallas the customer service stuff (who was only 1 person) she refuse to help us, after that started yelling at us and asking the security to remove us from the queue. Fortunately there was another girl from flixbus who help to relocate us in another bus.
