    Reliable bus service to New York City. Arrived approximately 30 minutes early and was about 6th…read moreparty in line. Check in was friendly, people were orderly about waiting in line, and boarding was exactly on time. They had water bottles and newspapers for those who wanted. Appreciated trash bags on each row since we were constantly snacking and had things to dispose. On the bus, wifi was pretty reliable for me and temperature was good. Driver was really smiley to my toddler and only stopped for one minute to use the restroom. Safe, friendly drive up north!

    Took Vamoose from Arlington to NY and back. Both lags were at 95% occupancy…read more The driver for the Arlington to NYC lag was great, funny and really nice. BAM 25ish, tall, bitingly funny, while being thoughtful and respecting. I asked if V provided water and he apologized relating no, but then gave me a bottle from his chair. The ride was rough though, bus bounced so much that I contemplated taking Amtrak from Bethesda... But the last minute $300 fair priced me out of that option. Fares are a fraction of the price if you book ahead, as low as $25 if you book 3 weeks out and take the first morning departing train. The driver on the NY to Arlington lag, pictured... was rude and condescending. He yelled at me for not moving fast enough rounding the corner on the side walk, taunting me. I let him know that I have a spinal cord injury and couldn't move any faster, didn't help... He yelled at me again. Then once on the bus he turned around and glared at me hard, 100% throwing his weight around. He blocked the 2 front seats from paid customers with his personal belongings, a cooler, lunch bag and his back pack. Who does that? Eddie. This driver needs to be retrained. No one should be treated like this. Additionally, on the way back, someone smoked in the bathroom and that air circulated in the bus for an entire 3 hours. My lungs were begging for mercy by the time I arrived in Arlington. To save money, Vamoose will not allow the AC to run until departure time. So on a 100 degree day, the bus gets to heat up with the boarded passengers cooking on the inside and then it takes a really long time to cool both the hot bus and the overheated passenger to a comfortable climate. Avoid Vamoose at all cost. Take Amtrak.

    I recently booked with Culdesac Chauffeur and was so pleased with my experience…read more I had not seen my sister since pre-pandemic. Once everyone in my family was fully vaccinated, we began to plan the long awaited reunion. Since I wasn't entirely sure of her schedule, I wasn't able to book until the day before we needed the driver so I was very happy that Culdesac was able to accommodate. From my initial phone inquiry until our drop off, every interaction with the business was professional. During my first phone call, I was able to book a driver for 5 hours to take us to a winery in Virginia. The winery is located over an hour away, so it was nice to be able to relax and not worry about driving. Everything was pretty seamless. Our driver (Rachid) was so professional and even arrived a few minutes early. He was a safe driver, kind and accommodating despite the non-stop storytelling and giggling between me, my sister and a childhood friend throughout the entire ride. Their pricing was upfront and pretty in line with quotes that I received from other businesses as well (and pricing was pretty transparent which I appreciate!) Thank you Culdesac for helping us make a very special weekend, safe and stress free.

    A group of us was visiting Washington, DC for a hockey road trip…read more Two months prior to my trip, I emailed Culdesac, along with 2 other competitors for a price quote. Culdesac not only contacted me the same day, but they were the only ones who provided me with any form of communication, and I've yet to hear back from the other 2 companies. That alone catapulted Culdesac to 5 star status in my book! I had 11 people in my group and was suggested a 14 passenger Mercedes Sprint Van, picking up from IAD to downtown Washington for $275, which included tax and gratuity. I believe I spoke to Sammy, who was very helpful and friendly. Fast forward to February... The day before our trip, Sammy called me to reconfirm, and sent me our driver's name and number. A hiccup happened to our trip, and I sent Derek a text to come to the airport earlier than we agreed upon. Culdesac called to verify we needed an earlier pickup, Derek kept me in the loop of his transit time, and he came to the spot we told him we were at. Super professional! We decided to use Culdesac to take us back to the airport. Again the day before, I got a call and email reconfirming my pickup at 1:30 pm. We were told that Derek was going to take us back, but unfortunately a hiccup occured where his appointment was going to run over, so Derek texted me that someone else will pick us up, and not to worry. A few minutes after the text, Culdesac called me to say Derek was being replaced by Sam, and they texted me his number. Sam arrived at 1:15 in a 20 passenger van, just as nice as the Mercedes Sprinter, and even newer! It was also handicapped accessible, which was a good thing to remember if someone was disabled. He was just as courteous and got us to the airport safely and quickly. I honestly believe this company deserves 5 stars. They were professional, easy to get a hold of via email and phone, and communicated with me from start to finish. They charged my card after the service was completed, and the tip and tax was included in the fee. I would gladly use them again if I am back in the DC area.

Thank you Charles (driver), Jacob (owner) and David (dispatch/coordinator). From the initial on-line contact to get a price quote there was a response from Jacob by email within thirty minutes requesting more detail about pick up/drop off locations, time and number of passengers. The communication was excellent (from beginning to end) and the responsiveness was very impressive. Our superb driver Charles arrived about an hour early (which was great as many of the 14 adults using the Sprinter Van transportation had already arrived). The driver was caring, responsive, generous and had the Sprinter Van A/C cranked up and the van spotless inside and out. The driver's kindness and driving skills was remarkable in all of the passenger's opinion. He went out of his way to accommodate us. Our HS children used another transportation service (booked prior to the adults deciding to use transportation as well). There service was horrible. He was thirty minutes late for pick up, the Party Bus had no air conditioning (it was 90 some degrees for the one hour ride), had no working speakers, driver smelled of marijuana, drove erratically and did little to in regards to service. When we heard about this we terminated their service after the 1 hour of the 6 hours booked for the evening. Our driver Charles of Shalom Transportation, upon our request, took immediate action by contacting Jacob who was polite and generous and provided us with an impromptu remedy by providing our children with alternative transportation on the spot and the report from our HS children was that the service and transportation vehicle was excellent. David, Shalom's dispatcher, immediately stepped in to action (thank you) and provided immediate communication by text and our adjusted bill by email. We were pleased with Shalom Transportation LLC's communication, service and price and would use them again. Thank you Shalom Transportation LLC (specifically Charles, Jacob and Dave). -the Glasser Family.

Bus is generally our favorite (convenience, cost, and speed) and we had an excellent experience with Tripper bus this weekend. To and from NYC, our buses were incredibly prompt, clean, fully operational (all power outlets worked), and safely operated. The convenience was incredible and for each leg the bus was right on time. We made it to NYC in well under 4 hrs and it was just a pleasant all around ride. The seats are a bit more cramped than Amtrak, but we rode the basic bus. Compared to Amtrak (which has been delayed every time we've taken it), the bus was easier, cheaper and more convenient.

His attitude was dismissive and unsafe. The way this man drove, I don't even drive like that in my car. I actually had to delete this review and repost after I left the bus. That's how bizarre the whole thing was. I put in two starts because the Admin lady on the phone gave me a partial refund for the first leg of my trip since that trip was cancelled and she gave me that refund in minutes. She was curt but polite and efficient. I'm never taking Tripper or Gunther buses ever again. This is the most expensive greyhound service I've ever been on.

    My usual bus company was booked solid, so I decided to take Vamoose bus for my recent trip from NYC…read moreto MD. The $30 one-way fare was slightly more than I've paid on other bus lines, but I figured Vamoose must be offering extra perks to justify the higher cost. I arrived at the pickup location about forty minutes prior to the departure time and there were already at least twenty people ahead of me on the line. Soon after I arrived, one of the Vamoose representatives began checking names off on his list. He handed a boarding pass to each person after confirming his or her reservation. We started boarding the bus thirty minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. About ten minutes later, every seat was occupied and we were on our way--a whole twenty minutes ahead of schedule. There wasn't anything fancy about the bus - just your standard seats, zero power outlets, no seat belts or wifi. In other words, no bells and whistles! The bus ride to Bethesda was four hours long with no rest stop. Fortunately, I got off at the first stop in Bethesda, but the bus was also scheduled to make a second stop in Arlington. Vamoose Bus has an organized ticketing and boarding process, but the higher fare comes with less amenities than other bus lines. Side note: Vamoose does have a fleet of Gold buses equipped with amenities such as leather seats, a tray table, and more leg room, but at a cost of $50 for a one-way trip from NYC to MD, I'll pass.

Not knowing we were in the wrong line and missed our original bus 5 minutes prior. When the operator for the bus told us where to go the operator for Flix immediately started yelling saying we just missed our bus and need to be on time and said he had two seats for us that were together. As he sat us he came to saying we needed to pay him $30 each. I'm looking confused because he kept repeating it and yelling. As we looked for $60 cash to pay him. I was short $10 and asked him if he could take a card. His answer was NO card only cash with an emphasis on cash only. When he sat us together before taking off he separated us up front and sat us two rows apart. Then again he said get up and come with him to the back of the bus that was dirty and no rest room. We said ok we were just trying to get to NY to see our play that started at 2:00 pm. At the Delaware stop he reminded me of the $10 cash owed. As I was giving it to him I took a picture of me giving him cash because I did not believe he had the right to charge us another fare. That's when he became more rude and was yelling NO PICTURE at the top of his voice. Before we were suppose to leave for NY he asked us off the bus and returned our $50 in cash the told his wife in his language something and said took a picture. The wife rolled her eyes and said something? This man had a pocket full of cash! My thought was that he's been doing this to ppl all the time and if so it's not fair. He then said get to NY the best way you can a left us in Delaware? He saw a Greyhound bus and asked the driver to take us because I took his picture. That driver was confused about what he was saying until we explained what happened. We were told to pay attention when booking Greyhound to look out for Flix because they've heard similar stories. So pay attention when booking with Greyhound and look for traveling with Flix bs Greyhound. That driver had no customer service he was extremely rude and unprofessional! I will never ride Flix or refer them to anyone I know one more thing the bus had no WiFi as stated the plugs did not work to charge your devices and no bathroom! Water was leaking in the back of the bus and he drove way too fast!
