I took 2 buses from Tampa to Fort Myers and Fort Myers to Tampa. I was confused at first when the 2 buses were not parked in the same place, such as one bus was waiting for their customers in front of the shelter, and the second one was waiting at the gas station next to it. It was raining and confused when the second bus was not parked like before. But just like that, I like the rides, they were comfortable for me to sit on. Both drivers were nice and safe.
Our tickets provided us with the wrong address for the Fort Myers bus stop, which led to us missing the bus and having to chase it for a couple minutes before getting on
Staff was great and the driver was courteous and helpful and extremely helpful to some confused customers. The only downside was the bus is old and shabby looking.
Very convenient. Hard to find decent public transportation in us. Was very glad to find this at a price that was fair. Seats were a bit tight though on our bus.
bus was comfortable and driver was nice...the only reason i even care that it was late is because i was trying to catch a plane in tampa and made it with only a few minutes to spare
I would do this again. comfortable seats, direct from city to city. However, it was cold on the bus with too much A/C in row 1. And it smelled like urine for 1/2 the trip. good price.
I got there 30 minutes before departure time, but there was no way to know what bus was mine, sat there for about 45 mins, waiting for an announcement or something and I had to go ask what bus was mine, luckily i did, my bus was about to leave.
