FlixBus San Jose Palm Springs recent customer reviews

My tickets got changed after I bought them so that I would have to wait 3 hours for a layover. Then, that bus didn't arrive for 6 hours. The bus tracker updated only twice during that time, so I couldn't leave the station to get food because I was afraid of missing the bus. Once on the bus, they missed my stop and I was told that "it says I don't have anyone at that stop". Somehow my stop wasn't recorded properly in the system. We then drove an additional 50 minutes to loop back around. I had someone waiting to pick me up for that entire time, 4:50AM-5:40AM. This was an absolutely terrible experience and not worth the $70+ I spent.
