OurBus Albany Syracuse recent customer reviews

I did not enjoy enjoy any part of it. It was a very bad experience my bus delayed an hour. I had to wait in the rain and then when I got to my stop where I was supposed to get off the bus driver made the wrong turn and we had to wait on the bus and they would not let us off until we got the all cleared and I was very very disappointed. I’m never booking with our bus ever again.
