Megabus US Milwaukee Wausau recent customer reviews
I didn’t even get to enjoy the ride, it was canceled and I didn’t even get a notification that it was canceled. Would never even try to ride again.

The megabus advertises that there will be Internet on board, but there was no Internet. This made the business I had to conduct harder to navigate. I probably wouldn’t have chosen this way to travel if I had known that beforehand. Driver seem very friendly and outgoing. He was helpful loading the bus and we seem to stay on schedule, but I did see that one stop Behind. He was waving at the bus, but we kept on going we didn’t turn around. I was seated at the back of the bus, so I was not able to notify the driver.
