New York Trailways Rochester New York recent customer reviews

The bus I rode on had a malfunctioning heating/cooling system, so the atmosphere on the bus was extremely, uncomfortably hot for the trip from Rochester to NYC. Also, it was raining and the roof escape hatch was leaky. The seat back charging stations at my seat and the one across the aisle were not working.

The driver didn't give much to use a bathroom on stops but we were late in New York by 15min

Trailways policy is to allow border patrol to harass its customers. I recorded video of this and it has gone viral. Please drop trailways. The driver was great. But the company policy to let immigration on the bus must go.

It wasn't being late that bothered me but the lack of stops, I'd happily be a half-hour longer and have a break.

I took the bus for the first time. It was a good experience. The bus left and reached on time. I wish there was a short 10-15 mins break though. Also the driver could be a little smiling, he was nice otherwise.
