Extremely late

The bus picked me up from the station on time, however I was supposed to arrive at my destination at 11:15 AM and catch another bus at 11:45 and instead the bus did not arrive at its station until 12:06 making me miss my connecting bus and have to pay extra to get on a new bus. This bus was already insanely expensive and I was not happy that I had to pay even extra due to the bus being 50 minutes late!

Don’t use this service

Like to take peoples money for the fun of it

⚠️

Don’t use and support these brown losers & be careful it’s impossible to get refunded!

Great app

Love it

Don’t use them

You can’t reach out to a live person to address the simple problem. Go to the bus website directly is better and cheaper

Will not issue refunds.

Will look for every possible work around to not give you your money back if you cancel a trip EVEN though I paid the extra money to have it available to be FULLY refunded. They will send you to different departments, email you back with AI when you SPECIFICALLY ask for a person. I will not be using this app again.

SCAM

I got scammed by them, be careful and much better to deal with the directly

A New Adventure for JFK ..

Threw my license away; now it's the bus and fun different people ; OK !.. lets make it that Way!

Lives up to its name

The only way I book any trip when I go by bus !!

Excellent.

So easy and stress-free.

Chile hopping

BusBud app was super easy to use! Let’s hope the trip is as good experience as the booking!! 😅

Traveling on the Bus!

This app has been a game changer for us traveling in Mexico!

Exactly why I make my purchases in person

Booked a train Amtrak refunded my money but you guys haven’t returned my money it’s been two weeks

fake warranty and unsafe data demand

it is a complete scam.
I paid extra for their "cancel for any reason without documents" because my son fell ill, i had to cancel it. Not only did they force me to send a medical report, but they also refused to refund my original Mastercard or even a credit in busbud wallet. Instead, they demanded my private bank information.
It got worse: the agent then demanded my full name, citizenship, place of birth, and full physical address. After forcing me to hand over this highly sensitive data, making me feel completely unsafe. they STILL refused to give me my refund or even a travel credit.
They take your money for fake protection and harvest your personal data. Avoid Busbud at all costs! I am now seeking legal action to protect my personal information.

Won’t be using again

I’ve used this app over 50 times but today it just decided it didn’t like my credit card. Between the god awful customer service and the useless ai chat bot, I will not be returning to the app.

Change Price

Might be change price during booking

Very bad experience for booking

The app continues to show trips that are actually sold out at the time of booking instead of removing them from the listing and there are a lot of “connection errors” preventing the final payment step to being completed

Website troubleshooting

Tried to buy my ticket only and was only expecting Apple Pay that continuously declining my credit card, but I downloaded the app and all of a sudden it works

scam

i cancelled a trip the same day as i accedentally booked for the wrong day and they said they refunded me the amount in a voucher when i went to go buy another ticket i had to pay the full amount. no voucher in sight.

Best and accessible

Hard to find more accessible apps anywhere
