Megabus Experience And Review
When I'm traveling long distances, I prefer to travel by way of bus. I've used Greyhound more than a few times and I've been generally satisfied with my experience on their buses. Recently, I decided to try a new service. While searching the web I stumbled across Megabus.com - A cheaper bus service with some extra features like such as free WiFi and flat screen TVs showing movies during your trip.
I decided to give it a try as they were significantly cheaper than Greyhound and with the free WiFi I figured I could get some work done rather than waste six hours sitting on a bus not doing much of anything. My experience on Megabus was not what I'd hoped for. They got me from point A to point B safely, yes, but I do have a list of a few complaints.
The WiFi didn't work at all. I was told by another passenger that it rarely works. In fact, according to him it has only worked twice out of at least ten trips he's taken. The first bus that I rode was dirty and had obviously not been cleaned since the last time it was used. The half melted bar of chocolate in the seat compartment in front of me didn't exactly scream "high quality travel". These are just a couple of the complaints I have about the service but I don't think any of them would keep me from using their service again. They do what a bus service is supposed to do, and do it fairly well. They just seem to have a problem keeping their promises for the extras that are offered.
