Transport - Megabus Review

Not bad

4*

---

Contrary to many reviews, we used the Megabus twice (San Francisco to LA & Dallas to Houston) and both experiences were decent.

My major critique of the company is that it does pick you up and drop you off in less favourable (dodgy) areas of cities, and their stops are sometimes not clear at all, like in San Francisco.

The positives were that both our journeys were quiet (we did go midday on a weekday both times) and the buses were clean. They also both departed and arrived almost to the minute that was stated. We pre-booked specific seats as we were told to, on the upper deck at the front, and they were comfortable and had okay views. The journeys were both smooth and the bus had no issues. On our longer journey from San Francisco to LA, the bus stopped for 30 minutes at a service station which acted as a nice break.

In conclusion, I think that this company is a bit 'hit and miss'. We got lucky both times we traveled but I can see where the negative reviews may originate from. I would certainly recommend over Greyhound where possible however, we did get a Greyhound and it wasn't to bad, but we preferred Megabus.
