BestBus User Reviews
BestBus receives praise for its friendly and engaging drivers, as well as excellent customer service at stations. However, multiple reviews mention that the journey duration is often underestimated, leading to delays without explanation or apology. Some passengers noted a lack of refreshments on board and occasional issues with Wi-Fi connectivity.
Excellent experience with Best Bus. First timer due to airline flight being cancelled. I think this is the way to travel to NYC from Manassas. No airport hassles, convenient NYC location, comfy seats, plug for electronic devices, clean bus, great price. Both my drivers were friendly and efficient. The wifi was iffy at times. No loud phone talking or music allowed. Easy on line purchase. Will definitely take Best Bus again.

Clean bus and smooth ride.
Tiffany B.
The bus was late, both at departure and arrival. Throughout the entire journey, the driver played his radio loudly! It was unbearable. Couldn't he have used headphones?
Nathalie B.
This was my first trip with BestBus. The drivers were helpful, kind and polite. Everything went smooth. I will not hesitate to use their services again.
Najiba W.
Did not enjoy that it took 5 hours and not 4 hours as advertised, and people reserving seats with bags they did not use.
Nora G.
Good driver, and explanation at the begining
