Good for a Blue Sky Day No Customer Support for Problems

I regularly travel by bus between NYC and VA. On the ground staff and drivers are very good. Travel is usually comfortable and efficient. Three stars because if anything goes wrong the people who staff the customer service office are so horrifically indifferent to providing any kind of support to the customers it is laughable. I have traveled on this route for years. If everything goes smoothly, it’s a great experience. If anything goes wrong, you are on your own. There is no customer support or any commitment to customer satisfaction.

Go bus driver Kuljit from bus 8420...THANK YOU

Go bus driver Kuljit from bus 8420 literally saved me tonight from commuting all the way from MIlton Go to dixie go as I ended up on the wrong bus! He was so understanding and caring with my situation and what he did next was way well above a passengers expectation! He took the time to coordinate a return ride to dixie go with another go bus driver giving my description and explained to him of my situation, a genuine act of kindness indeed! I’m so happy to be a go rider everyday, especially because I know that I will be taken care of when a situation like this arises 😊

Thanks Kuljit! ❤️

Booking the seat would help

Maybe would help to book with seat number cause some people I guess do not like traveling with their partner and they sit on different benches so I had the surprise to hardly find a seat next to another

Reasonable Service

I had trouble ordering my tickets using the online application and had to call customer service to get it sorted. The customer service representatives weren't overly helpful, but they were professional. There was a lot of construction going on around the pickup zone in NYC so it was difficult to get to, and I didn't feel very safe. Other than that, the bus ride was fine, not too hot or cold, outlets worked, wifi was slow, but it still worked, bathroom was clean and the overall interior of the bus was old, but clean as well. We also got to our destination on time so no complaints there.

Late 30 minutes!

Everything was fine but I was EXTREMELY UNHAPPY that the bus arrived 30 MINUTES LATE. It started snowing and the stop was outside, but nobody dared going in the station in case they miss the bus. It wouldn’t be that inconvenient if passengers got a message that the bus was running late. Please take this into consideration when you dispatch buses to New Haven next time.

Solid 4-star experience

Solid 4-star experience. Rode round trip from suburban DC (VA) to NYC. Buses were super punctual in both directions, drivers were professional and got us to our destination safely. We stopped for 10 mins on the way up on the NJ turnpike, and came nonstop on the way back. Just about 4 hours each way.

On the negative side, the buses’ interiors were a tad on the old side, not uncomfortable or dirty, but a bit dated. Don’t expect a brand new luxurious coach. The WiFi was also pretty bad, but that’s not a problem if you have enough data on your plan.

Good value for under $60 round trip.

First bus from VA to NY was great

First bus from VA to NY was great! Confortable and easy even that the driver don’t even talk to you or give you directions of what to do with your luggage or anything like that. Like he said he was there just to drive. Fine. I enjoy that trip and I would do that again.
BUT the bus coming back from NY to VA was terrible. The ceiling was dripping some red liquid my chair was wet my coat got dirty and the smell was really strong. Not able to move because the bus was full. I wasn’t able to rest mi back on the chair because it was all dirty and wet and the little curtain was all wet and dirty as well. That was disappointed because is a 5 hrs trip. Did not expect that. This is the first time I use Go bus and not sure if I would do it again. I’m always traveling by bus but never happen to me in any other company.

Poor customer service

I will never EVER book on this bus again. The bus never came and when I called to find out what happen the customer service rep told me I was lying and everyone was picked up. Then went on to tell me my daughter was on the bus when she was still in my car! She was rude and when I ask for a supervisor she said she was one and there was nobody above her. Said she wasn't driving the bus so she didnt know why I was yelling at her. Will definitely be sticking to Amtrak for now on!
