The driver was scrolling on Facebook reels for most of the drive and was just scrolling for like an hour…. Didn’t feel very safe about that

Though the trip was an hour and a half longer than it should’ve been the bus driver did a great job. She’s a real pro, her name is Tiffany.

FlixBus Providence New York City recent customer reviews

It was a non-branded bus. The driver held up his phone in my face with no explanation, he wanted me to say the name on the booking. He then didn't know how to put on the AC on the bus and it was incredibly uncomfortable, a passenger had to go up to the front to help him. The bus also had no charging ports and once the ac worked, it was pitiful.

The bus was nice and clean and ride was smooth and enjoyable. I wish the tickets had the address of the bus stop I took about 10 mins looking for the bus stop

Horrible. No A/C. Just had to turn around because it couldn’t go through the tunnel and was delayed two hours dropping customers off in Queens because folks were so sick because of the heat

The seats were comfy. Our driver wasn't the most courteous though. He didn't check the bathroom before leaving and there was no tissue in there during the ride.

Greyhound Lines, Inc. Providence New York City recent customer reviews

Greyhound Review Very confusing pick up point. It was a generic bus stop sign on a telephone pole. I was so stressed out — even local strangers didn’t know where to send me. I only found the stop because someone waved me over. There was no shelter, no seating, and the bus tracking was inaccurate. After waiting in the freezing cold for hours with no updates, I gave up and took the train. Not a good experience, especially with only a voucher offered.
