FlixBus Chicago Indianapolis recent customer reviews
The Chicago bus station women’s bathroom had several soap dispensers but only one had any soap left. There were lights burned out in the bathroom including in the handicap stall. The bathroom felt neglected. Also the hallway to the bathroom wasn’t accessible because a trash can was in it. It should have been outside of the hallway. There was also a wet floor sign right across from the trash can, and together this made a very narrow walkway. Later, in the bus’s bathroom, the flush button had a sign saying to press and hold, which I did. I was waiting for it to finish flushing my (normal amount of) waste down. This resulted in there being too much flush water in the bowl and it overflowed down to the floor. Nothing was clogged, it just was a poor bowl design or too much flush water. I had to use a lot of toilet paper to dry off the floor and the area around the bowl. My shoes got wet. It was gross! They should get rid of that sign or design the toilet better. I could see a lot of toilet paper in the trash from previous people that looked like they had had the same experience.

Horrible. The a/c didn’t work on the bus so it was sweltering. Then the bus broke down and a replacement didn’t come for 4 hours so I had to Uber the rest of my journey to my destination.

The drivers was friendly and helpful. Loved her. The bus was old and barely made it to Indy. I have ANC headphones and I could hear the loud bus the whole way.
