    Juliana C.

    When I told people I was taking the bus to Boston, I got a couple horrified looks. I assumed they were due to the 8+ hour travel time and layover in New York, or maybe Peter Pan's affiliation with Greyhound (sketchtastic). I was dead wrong. Two weeks ago I bought a standard fare, round-trip ticket from the Peter Pan website. I was asked for a specific date and time for each leg of the trip. A week ago I received my ticket in the mail. It had no dates or times on it. Curious. THURSDAY, JULY 1ST, 9:30 PM: I arrive at the Peter Pan station in DC. There's a massive line for my gate; way too many people to fit into one bus. I quickly find out, due to signage, that my "standard fare" ticket actually means "standby." As in, I'm not guaranteed a seat. Umm.... While I'm in line, fretting, I chat with the lady in front of me. She had been in town to see her son graduate and was on her way back to New York. I told her I was due for a job interview in Boston the next day, and she wished me luck. People began boarding the bus around 10, and there were a lot ahead of me. As I approached the doorway to the loading area, the ticketing agent informed my companion that she had the last seat on the bus. She turned to me, and without a word offered me her reserved seating ticket. Humanity: 1. Peter Pan: 0. FRIDAY, JULY 2ND, 2:30 AM: Port Authority was chaos. There were two gates to Boston, and no one knew which to pick. Some people had Greyhound tickets, some Peter Pan, and some both. No one seemed to be in charge. I arbitrarily chose a line to stand in, and waited for an hour. Then someone in a neon vest came by, yelled something about Peter Pan passengers using the other gate, and scurried away. I switched lines. The bus I had been waiting for the whole time filled up and left. Another busload's worth of people was left. My line was suspiciously empty. I ran outside and showed my ticket to a bus attendant. He informed me I had been in the right line to begin with. I slunk back to the first gate and promptly waited another hour to board. Once we were underway at 4:30 AM, I tried to sleep. The bus was freezing. 3/4 of the way there, someone noticed that the driver had forgotten to drop people off in Hartford, CT. We had to backtrack 20 minutes. As we approached the city, our speed inexplicably dropped to 30 mph. BOSTON, 9:30 AM: Never again.

Besides, BestBus's ride between NY and DC does't disappoint. I don't take good customer service and lost and found service from bus companies due to my last nightmare! When I forgot my suitcase after waking up from a nap (another bus company), I realized their call center is outsourced to India, who could not help me reach their ground office in D.C.. I had to be very resourceful and ubered directly to their parking lot to find my suitcase (luckily). Ever since that, I try not to choose bus companies without robust customer support. My experience with BestBus was a breeze. I filled out the lost and found form on their website and called. I was quickly helped and received an email confirming my iPhone was identified within two days. I provided an USPS shipping label and they shipped the phone back to me safe and sound. I'll pay it forward by recommending Best Bus to everyone I know!

I was thrilled to see that the 7am bus from DuPont Circle was waiting when I arrived at 6:45, and that I was able to board immediately. Not only was there a working electrical outlet, but the WiFi signal was strong and effect. Those were the "best" parts of the expert - it was all downhill from there. I didn't realize there was an additional stop at Union station, and that took quite a while. The driver was very friendly and courteous, but the 15-minute rest stop that turned into 20 minutes made it clear that speed isn't really a priority for this service. We arrived at the stop on West 34th Street and 9th Ave at 12:10pm, and while it was much quicker to park there than it is near Penn station, if I have to walk to Penn station anyway, this isn't much of a plus for me. Probably the most annoying thing about today was that my 5:30pm return trip was cancelled due to technical issues and I had to cut my trip half an hour short(er) to get the 5pm replacement trip instead. I appreciate getting an early notification about the return bus snafu so I was able to adjust my plans accordingly, and I know these things can happen, but if I'm going to be on buses and trains for 12 hours in a day, losing that half hour of planned productivity really isn't great I'll allow that BestBus likely has the best service I've experienced on an Intercity bus in terms of courtesy and communication. And the DuPont Circle is super convenient for me before the metro is running on a Saturday. Beyond that though, this isn't my preferred choice for travel to New York.

I tried Google and yep of course to look up and research different companies in the area that would service the DMV. Needless to say DCPath kept coming up and so I reached out to see if this would be an option for our special event. I sent them an email with some specifics and received a quote immediately. The company communicated effectively the plan of action for the special day for my daughter and my family. They also made sure everything was broken down and explain as far as terms and conditions. On the day of services are driver arrived 15 minutes early and advised via text that they were outside waiting. When we came out the driver was very cordial and also helpful in getting everything that we needed for the entire day loaded into the sprinter that we rented. The sprinter was very clean and up-to-date. Once we were all loaded into the sprinter the driver got us to the arena very safely and early. During the day we went to several stops before returning home later that night. The entire day was absolutely perfect thanks to DC path and our driver. The driver called and communicated all day long during different drop offs and activities that the family had throughout the day. The Google and your reviews really don't do DC path Justice as they definitely deserve a 10-star rating for providing great customer service, effective communication, excellent vehicle options, and pricing. Whether you are just looking for a ride to the airport or special events DC path is the way to go! Mastewal our driver was absolutely great. I want to thank them for making a crazy and hectic day so enjoyable!!

The credit was absolutely refused, given your lack of understanding and inability to resolve a simple issue within 20 minutes of phone time. Yikes! -- After 2 positive experiences, things unfortunately took a negative turn with Next Destination Transportation. The owner, admittedly, is underway in a busy season and sent zero text messages (as he has done in the past) to confirm a scheduled pick-up. Miscommunication on both ends perhaps and the terms and conditions are spelled out on the website but it seems he picks and chooses when he wants to follow them. In the spirit of fairness, the cars have been clean and the drivers have been professional...until now. What I won't do is stay on the phone for 20 minutes repeating myself. I simply encourage all of you to get confirmation by phone, email, AND text if you don't want your full payment to be a donation to the business. =)

I used the YC mobile app & web app twice to get him a ride. Both times it said the driver would arrive in 4 mins--guess that's their default--but actually arrived in 15+ mins. When you book, they just tell you the ride is confirmed, but don't give you any information about the driver or how long it'll take for a few good long minutes. After a loooong wait, it says your driver is 4 mins away. The last time I booked with them, I watched the car on the app that had confirmed just sit, not move an inch, for probably 5 minutes solid. Geographically he was super close. Then for about 8 minutes he just inched along until he did finally reach the neighborhood. BUT, he whizzed right by the school and went down the street and just sat there. I called the service number 3 times-- it's just an automated machine. You can request to speak to the driver. Each of the three times I selected it, hoping to let him know that the school was behind him, it ring once and then hung up. After waiting for 16 minutes total for a car that was in the beginning had been like a 6-minute drive away, I cancelled the ride and ordered an uber for $8 more, which arrived in precisely 4 minutes.

They stole money from me, failed to help me when they left me stranded at the airport, finally *did* connect me with an agent only to charge me more than double for all the difficulty, and then made it impossibly difficult to even ASK for a refund--because there's no phone service for customer support. Just their circular AI and a series of multiple choice options THAT DO NOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. They're obviously trying very hard to take ZERO responsibility for your failures.
