Andres WeberJuly 16, 2011If you aren't leaving on a packed day try waiting as long as you can to get the tickets. They go down to 15 if you're smart about it. Or just go ghetto and fung wah since bolt is always sold out.

Tim GallantDecember 26, 2011Get there early, watch for your bus because baggage handlers do not know how to organize and will tell you to form three different lines while your bus is sitting there empty.always lateUpvoteDownvote- Chaz AntonelliSeptember 2, 2011Amtrak $80+, Bolt $35+, MegaBus $12+. Yeah, the grunts on ground staff SUCK MONKEY BALLS, but once on-board, WiFi, outlets, clean comfortable seats... Worth the aggressivation. Greyhound? Forget itUpvoteDownvote
Kelly DennisDecember 20, 2011WiFi tip: connect to the MegaBus network, open a browser and accept the terms. Your mobile WiFi indicator may not show you're connected to the network until you login via your browser. :)UpvoteDownvote

Heather GreenAugust 30, 2011Herded like cattle...NYC to Philly and reverse has driver swaps along the Jersey Turnpike...Better hope you get a bus w/ functioning wifi and plugs!UpvoteDownvote
There's more leg room in the bottom seats, but you can really put your feet up on top level in the very front.UpvoteDownvote
Brandon SzekerJanuary 7, 2012Megabus can suck on my balls. Make sure you save yourself the panic...BOLT BUS!! You'll be happy you spent the xtra $4!UpvoteDownvote
Juston PayneJuly 17, 2011Busses leave on time 70% of the time. Power outlets work 40%. WiFi works 10%. There's a reason Bolt tickets sell out so quickly.UpvoteDownvote- Peter Serrano-AbundantNovember 18, 2011The mornings are the best and never never expect to be on the bus during afternoon rush hour or you'll be an hour or two late.UpvoteDownvote
Press The buttonMarch 25, 2012Had a 6:30 am bus... Left on time and had people that were very nice and helpful. Not very crowded. Hey for $5 you can't beat that kind of service.UpvoteDownvote
Ed COctober 22, 2011Getting their act together...kind of. Finally signs for different destinations and some tents (ripped) to protect from the elementsUpvoteDownvote
KelseyNovember 6, 2011People keep complaining about the lack of accommodations. It's a bus stop for pete's sake. A cheap, convenient method of travel. You want accommodations, pay more money and take a train.UpvoteDownvote
Next time you hate on MegaBus, remember you can't even get a Happy Meal for as cheap as you are getting to Grandma's house.UpvoteDownvote
Don't catch MegaBus. They have you corralled like farm animals in 110 degree weather! Not to mention you'll leave late 90% of the timeUpvoteDownvote
Mary MeadeSeptember 15, 2011Arrived late. Bus not crowded. They were pleasant to me and I got right on. Have stood in line and staff was helpful then tooUpvoteDownvote
Craig PatikJuly 31, 2011People only add tips when they're mad. MegaBus has always been on time within five minutes for me (NYC, DC, Albany)UpvoteDownvote
Richard CrifasiMarch 6, 2011All these haters... I usually have good experiences on the Mega Bus. Going to Boston to NY or visaversa is never going to be on time, unless u take a red eye.UpvoteDownvote
Laura BroOctober 21, 2011There are no free restrooms anywhere in the vicinity! Make sure you go before you come or be prepared to buy something in exchange for using a toilet.UpvoteDownvote
Jun KimOctober 15, 2011Believe it or not, it's only $26 for a round-trip, it could be lower as around $6~$8 for early book.UpvoteDownvote
SaraAugust 13, 2011Unless the bus is packed take the seat right behind the driver. You will be more likely to to sit by yourself and get some space.UpvoteDownvote
Madison GouzieOctober 28, 2011The guaranteed late departure allows for a care-free extra last drink w friends. No complaints there.UpvoteDownvote- The new pickup stop for Boston and Pittsburgh is at 40th and 10th ave. don't be late!UpvoteDownvote
Kayla!August 4, 2011Had a bus leave early on me once so I missed it. So get there early, but expect to usually wait. A while.UpvoteDownvote

Bristol BlairFebruary 15, 2012As of 02/15/2012, bus stop relocation in effect! Check Your New Bus Stops! Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Benny Bang BangDecember 2, 2011NEVER on time. But, if you're getting me to places like Boston, Philly, and even Rochester for free, who am I to complain? And unlike greyhound, not at all grimey and ghettoUpvoteDownvote
Amanda CamandaJuly 24, 2011Best time to travel-130am or 330am depart. No traffic, not as many people, you're gonna sleep anyways so why waste your day in a bus?UpvoteDownvote
johnpaul Von SchuylkillOctober 22, 2011I'm next to the baltimore line. Best accents! Waiting for somebody to yell for McNulty!UpvoteDownvote
Emily DeWanJune 24, 2011Boarding has improved greatly. They put up plastic chains to separate the lines, and each line is labeled.UpvoteDownvote
Ricky HussmannAugust 7, 2011Hang out at nearby Dunkin' Donuts on 31st and 9th to avoid the rain until the last possible moment.UpvoteDownvote
Jessica MuseAugust 8, 2011Get here at least 40 minutes before (alleged) departure time...cuz the line gets really long 20 minutes before.UpvoteDownvote
Alex C.August 15, 2011If you need a bite before you go, try Chipotle or Five Guys on 34thUpvoteDownvote
Sarah WainioJanuary 16, 2012Biggest cluster ever. Didn't board on time. No signs for destination. My enough staff. Dave yourself the headache and anxiety and take Bolt or Greyhound.UpvoteDownvote
Réjane TFebruary 8, 2012Had two people try to board the bus at 11:30 on the dot for an 11:30 departure and they got left behind. Be on time.UpvoteDownvote
BK CSeptember 19, 2011Complete sh*t show and poor organization especially beginning/ends of weekends. And line cutters, lots and lots of line cutters.UpvoteDownvote
Seven BrownJanuary 22, 2012Get the table in row two... That's how I get all my work doneUpvoteDownvote
Linly FollisJune 11, 2010Lining up for a bus is a clusterfuck. Absolute chaos. The bus was running about an hour behind but they loaded us in pretty quick. Once we were on the road it was good though. Outlets, wifi,& legroom!UpvoteDownvote
Simone BAugust 5, 2011Be early. The lines can be ridiculously long. Step up from Chinatown. Step down from GreyhoundUpvoteDownvote
Shyam RadiaJuly 18, 2011Comfortable bus journey too and from new York but don't expect it to be on timeUpvoteDownvote
Ash RogAugust 11, 2011Make sure to ask at least two people what line you should be standing in. Can get confusing.UpvoteDownvote
Lori AnnApril 13, 2012If you need to get somewhere actually on time do not take megabus. They are historically at least an hour late every timeUpvoteDownvote
Shawn WilliamsNovember 20, 2011Wifi is alright. Outlets! Smells good. Don't sit next to me or blare your speakers without headphones. Don't chew loudly or bring smelly food, or I will hurt you.UpvoteDownvote
KinjaDecember 31, 2011Completely disorganized. Also, 1:15am bus packs in all Philly, Baltimore & DC passengers.UpvoteDownvote
