Peter Pan New Bedford Providence recent customer reviews

20+ minutes went by, and the bus never showed up. The SRTA station was closed, so there was no one to ask for help. The Peter Pan phone number no longer provides customer service. In order to make my connecting train in Providence, I opted into taking a car service. I did not end up riding the bus, and so I can’t speak to the conditions on the bus.
