OurBus Amherst Boston recent customer reviews
The bus got to Boston almost an hour late.
The bus was scheduled to leave at 1:50PM and the bus took off 3:52PM. That was unacceptable. My finally arrived in Boston at 6:21PM.
Got email 12 hours before moving up our bus from 5 to 1, with no reimbursement or alternative option. The bus company then gave our driver the wrong pickup address so he drove past us and took 45 min to find us. Then he stood outside on the phone with the company for an extra 15 min, until we finally left very late. Very dissatisfied with the management.
