No Customer Service

I made a slight error while purchasing two tickets one of the names I put on my second ticket was incorrect. So I had only choice was to use the texting. Complete failure kept coming back saying we can’t find your ticket. Try this. Try that. I finally got frustrated and said I wanna talk to Customer representative. That is not available. Ended up having to cancel the entire trip fortunate. I bought the insurance had to eat the fee and then rebook the trip completely. You have human beings live agents to talk to support your business? Unacceptable.

This service is a scam

I bought a ticket with this company and the bus station specified on the ticket did not exist. DO NOT PURCHASE WITH THEM.

Seat Selection Option

Good but it would be so much better if you would be given option to elect a seat based on availability. Several time
I board to find a half empty bus yet I’m seated far in the back or next to someone. It does not make sense.

Busbud Bookings

Very convenient & user friendly with customer service support 24/7

Great service

I always use BusBud because they have never failed me. I always depart and arrive at my destination in time, lots of great options, comfortable seating, courteous drivers and a restroom in-situ. I prefer to bus than drive, that’s how good I’ve had it with BusBud!
