“No problems for me! (Use common sense to avoid drama!)”

★★★★★

written by tuvida2006 on 01/01/2016

I wish more Megabus users would write reviews on here, because I used it for the first time this week and was super nervous by all of the negative reviews I had read online. That being said, users need to be 100% prepared for their trips by double checking their booking date(s) and by reading all of the information about tickets, pick-up and drop-off times, etc. I personally had no issues, but there was at least one person on each of my departure trips who had accidentally booked a ticket for the wrong date and couldn't purchase another one, due to Megabus' policy. Don't wait until the last minute to reserve your tickets, either, b/c they might be sold out. I purchased my round trip tickets from Indy - Chicago about 4-5 days in advance; they were sold out for my designated times about 2 days before the trip. Like I said, I had no problems. I made sure to get to the designated departure points in plenty of time. (In Indy, we met at City Market downtown, and in Chicago, we met on a bridge between 2 streets.) The buses were literally on time for both trips, we had zero traffic problems, and the buses were clean. There is a driver and an assistant that will help you load your luggage into the outside bus compartment, if you bring any. I recommend bringing only a small bag, if possible, because there aren't any compartments inside for storage; you have to stow it under your feet, taking up your legroom. Most other customers were very courteous and quiet, but my only minor complaint is about some other customers who were rude to me for boarding before they did. They were standing in line to load their luggage and I had no luggage to load, so I was entitled to board the bus before them. Why should I wait in a useless line? Overall, I had a very enjoyable time and absolutely recommend this service! Like I said, use common sense and be courteous to others.

“Brilliant”

★★★★★

written by on 29/12/2015

I have read many a review on here and find the negative feedback an unfair representation of the service that Megabus provide. I booked a fare from Sunderland to London which cost me around £20 for a return. Upon entering the bus station I located the relevant stop and proceeded to wait in the queue. The bus was on time which was a good start, however the queue for the bus resembled a methadone queue. I am not snobby and decided that I would still proceed with my journey. The driver was a driver and did his job. I wasn't expecting any other than a safe journey which he provided. Anyone complaining about the customer service from the driver are really asking for a lot from the 5 pound something. The toilets do smell a little bit but this is understandable considering the people that pay for the service. Most are on benefits and as a result have poor diets. But for such cheap fares what does one expect. I would happily use this service and recommend it. Its cheap and does the job, if people want more than this then get a job and pay for something more suitable to your needs.

“Briiliant”

★★★★★

written by hootinn on 18/01/2015

Travelled on the MegabusGold from Glasgow to London, wasnt sure what to expect as I had been on the night bus years ago. Was pleasantly surprised at the layout and although I had a bottom bunk it was comfortable and I slept well. Facilities were great but the biggest asset to this company are their drivers, very nice and really helpful. I dont have any negative comments about my experience and I will defo be using this service again.

“Cheap, friendly service”

★★★★★

written by BrycenWaugh218 on 09/01/2015

I travel from Manchester to Birmingham every month by Mega bus to see my partner and if it wasn't for that service we wouldn't see each other nearly as much. Everyone I meet I tell about Mega bus and about the wonderful value for money. I love the idea that I can book my tickets on line for the best possible prices and that I don't have to print them out as they are sent straight to my mobile with a matter of seconds.

“Brilliant way to travel !”

★★★★★

written by lylaweames on 16/08/2014

I recently travelled from Pembrock Dock to London Victoria. I must say I was very impressed with the service. The bus was modern, clean and comfortable. I definitely will be using mega bus in the future. I have recommended mega bus to friends and people I have met on my travels. Brilliant service and very good value for money.

“Well Worth It!”

★★★★★

written by convention on 19/06/2014

My partner and I have used Megabus on a few occasions, Cardiff to Bristol and Cardiff to London and found it to be really good value for money. We decided to give MegabusGold a try yesterday for a theatre break in London returning today. We caught the 6.30am from Cardiff, the driver and assistant were brilliant, a really lovely couple of young fella's who couldn't do enough for us. We sat upstairs, chairs didn't recline but were really comfy and plenty of legroom. The assistant then brought round muffins, coffee, biscuits and water, all for a tenner return! The refreshments probably cost more than a fiver per person, plus free wifi. We will always use MegabusGold from now on, the only 2 complaints I have is the air conditioning wasn't very effective and the Scottish guy on the Megabus.com customer services desk in Victoria station was quite possibly the rudest guy I have ever seen! My partner and I were seated opposite the advice booth and witnessed him being extremely abrupt with customers, when a few people had missed their buses he very loudly told them he had announced the bus arrival 4 times and his sarcasm was a real treat to behold. He didn't talk, he barked at people. Is he really the best guy for customer services? ..........

“Megabus is great most of the time !”

★★★★★

written by extendedpaul on 06/06/2014

It is inevitable that sites like this will be packed with negative reviews but as a frequent Megabus user I'd like to redress the balance a little. I travel regularly between London and Cardiff, almost a hundred trips since Jan 2013. I've never once felt the need to complain or encountered a rude drive. My journeys have cost an average of well under £5 each (with free trips through Megabus promotions in January and February). Most coaches are less than three years old and very comfortable with adequate legroom - I'm 6 ft 1 tall. Megabus timetables sensibly allow a little more time than needed on a clear run and as a consequence I often reach London or Cardiff half an hour early. The infrequent delays have always been due to road conditions on the M4 or in London beyond the driver's control Megabus has two 2pm departures from London to Cardiff, a standard and a Gold service. Both are well used - 40+ passengers on the standard, 25+ on the Gold from my observations. I usually see the 1.30pm National Express to Cardiff leaving when I arrive at Victoria Coach station with just a handful of people on board. Food for thought.

“Megabus drivers went above and beyond to help me!”

★★★★★

written by on 31/05/2014

My first mega bus of the day was delayed due to the bus breaking down, this caused me to miss my connecting megabus in Birmingham. Although I was quite upset about this the megabus drivers moved heaven and earth to make sure I got to my destination on time for my friends birthday! They were extremely friendly and very helpful, I honestly couldn't be happier with my service from them! One of the Welsh drivers was especially helpful and I'm really thankful for all his help :) Thank you very much Megabus for making my day!

“Pleasantly Surprised”

★★★★★

written by gteenshed on 29/05/2014

Well maybe Ive been lucky cos Ive never had a bad experience on Megabus-I use the Cardiff to London route.Buses always on time, staff polite, friendly.Returning to Cardiff today I didnt realise I was booked on the Megabus Gold-I'd not heard of or asked for this bus but was I surprised . For just a fiver I got a single seat table , with free tea or coffee, followed not long after with free scones with jam, then came soft drinks in ice, then followed by shortbread.!!! And the service was great-a very polite black gentleman (wish I'd got his name ) who couldnt have been friendlier and helpful, served all the refreshments, and got my bags, and was waving as the bus drew away, so whoever you are-on the 2pm London Victoria to Cardiff, today 28th May ,your a credit to the company.

“SHOCK HORROR IT WAS PERFECT”

★★★★★

written by JulieHancock on 20/02/2014

What was intended to be a complaint about a previous trip has gone forth and has turned into a positive email. I was a passenger on the 17:30 London service from Manchester last Sunday 16th February. I want to congratulate megabus for many things today. The coach was spotless and the toilet fresh and clean. And with my past journeys i was in shock to what i witnessed today. I am used to coach lateness a grumpy driver and a toilet that is not fit for use. However the driver greeted everyone as they got on which straight away puts anyone at ease. But the compliments don't stop there. As we were still sat at Manchester a coach in front departed then as our coach moved up on the stand a young girl comes rushing up in a confused and stressed state which later transpires that she had missed her coach by seconds and that it was the last bus to Southampton. The girl was in bits with her luggage tears flowing as she was told the next one was not until the following day. What happened next was the shock. The driver was human he told the controllers he could get her on the coach Southampton. So a plan came into force as he said he would intercept the coach in Birmingham as he knew the timings of that coach. The driver told us all what was going on in his announcement and informed us it would add 5mins to our journey time. Seeing how this driver treated this passenger was a shock as most of the time i have traveled the drivers don't smile and seem quite non human. So i would like to congratulate him for restoring my faith in megabus as the driver not only got saved that girls day but we also arrived in London on time. I did not get the opportunity to tell him i was impressed as he swapped drivers at some service station so if you could tell him to keep doing what he is doing as he is a good reflection to the company.

“would use again. good value for money”

★★★★★

written by EmmaNeal on 12/02/2014

Having used Megabus for the first time over the weekend (7TH FEB 2014- 11TH FEB), I WOULD definatly use them again, They were on time (early infact) buses were very clean and tidy, Drivers were dressed smart and polite and friendly. Atmosphere was amazing and got talking to fellow commuters, The only thing I would recommend is take plenty of fluids and dont stop long enough to grab a drink. I will be using Megabus again as so good and value for money. hope this review helps others

“Great journey. Can't complain at all”

★★★★★

written by on 21/10/2013

Booked from Leeds to London 20th October leaving the bus station in Leeds at 4:20pm. Driver was smart and friendly and loaded all of our luggage whilst everyone boarded the coach which had wi-fi which worked ok and plug sockets which was a nice bonus. Not sure why but there was two other drivers on the bus which were dropped off at a services on the way before we entered Sheffield where I just felt sorry for the driver who had about 100 people swarming all around him trying to get in the bus but he seemed to deal with it well and once again diligently dealt with passengers and loaded the luggage for them. Heading down the M1 traffic was pretty bad but we were kept informed and the driver assured us we were still on time. We pulled into another services and changed drivers where I asked if I could go for a cigarette and was allowed but asked to stay near. The next driver was also pretty cool and we got into London on time. All in all no complaints at all. Have experienced some horror trips using Megabus but the price you pay means I'm prepared for hiccups. More drivers like the one who started off the journey though and Megabus won't go far wrong.

“Excellent journey from London to Bristol on Megabus Gold”

★★★★★

written by on 01/10/2013

Booked at the last minute as I found my normal provider had stopped running and wasn't expecting much. My girls had stopped using Megabus as the buses were old and likely to break down so had an excellent surprise when we got on the bus. It was the gold service and was most luxurious. My husband and I had a table for 2 facing one another with plenty of leg room and a table for our tablet, books etc. There was also an electric socket which we didn't use and free WiFi which we didn't use either but were told was a bit weak. The staff were most courteous and came round with tea, coffee and snacks to purchase. A 15 min stop at the services was welcome and I used the toilet there so can't comment on the facility on the bus. All in all a most comfortable journey and will now use Megabus again, especially if I can get the Gold service.
