Wanda Coach Virginia Beach Washington recent customer reviews

Due to congestion on the highway (road work along the way), the bus was late for half an hour. Otherwise, we might have arrived on time. The driver was helpful and nice. Some passengers were a bit noisy, one was singing time to time in a low voice and snapping fingers, the other one talking on the phone. In general, the trip was good, seats were quite comfortable, shades and belts working

According to customer reviews, Amtrak provided great service. However, the third-party bus company that operates between Virginia Beach and Richmond had major issues. The bus never showed up and the driver was unreachable. There were also complaints about a mistake or miscommunication regarding the bus from Virginia Beach to Norfolk, as Park Ave 20th St does not exist. This caused customers to wait for a non-existent bus and have to drive an additional 25 minutes to reach the train station.
