### 3/5 — Tracking?

*2025-04-13, version 1.3.1*

Can't find tracking info.

### 3/5 — Can’t set travel dates

*2020-11-06, version 1.3.0*

Hello, I can’t set travel dates on my iPhone 12. When I click on “ok” button the app shifts dates. So, I can’t use the app

### 4/5 — Bugs sometimes

*2020-03-08, version 1.3.0*

App works well most of the time, but does sometimes have glitches.

### 3/5 — Go Bus

*2020-02-07, version 1.2.1*

Once you get on the bus it is fine. But it us very difficult to speak to someone in the office, e.g. to change a ticket.

### 4/5 — Solid, no-frills app

*2019-12-14, version 1.2.1*

Schedules, tickets, and maps—everything I want in a travel app. 

UI is slightly off when viewing a ticket: on iPhone X, the ticket view is obscured by the UI header, and the back button, which works fine from other parts of the app, doesn’t seem to work there.

### 2/5 — Crippling bugs and obvious omissions

*2019-08-28, version 1.2.1*

It shows what it needs, there are serious bugs and oversights though. When I view a ticket, the back button doesn’t work, softlocking the app, and requiring me to quit and relaunch it. Also when viewing the map for the station you’re going to go to for the bus, there is no actual address, just cross streets (at least in NYC) and there is no option to open that location in Google or Apple Maps so you can get directions there.

### 2/5 — I travel a lot

*2019-07-21, version 1.2.1*

It’s Sunday the Bus is late, it 92 out. The family isn’t happy. 

The ride from DC to NYC was overly bumpy. Needs better shocks and struts.  WiFi was just OK. 

I scheduled a 7:30 time and they didn’t have me on the list.  I scheduled a 9:30 return and they switched it to 11am.

### 4/5 — Horrible, Life-Threatening Service

*2019-04-22, version 1.1.9*

The bus was supposed to arrive destination at 8pm. But the bus stopped in the middle of nowhere (2 hours from destination) at 8:30pm. Then the driver said his hours were up and let more than 30 passengers to go home by our own means. I called the company and they had no clue. I called 911 and then a state police officer arrived. Eventually they found a new driver and got us to the city. I arrived home at mid night. This was literally the most terrible bus service I ever had. I will file a lawsuit against them.

### 5/5 — Very pleasant and cheap!

*2019-02-13, version 1.1.9*

Nice people, on time, clean new buses everything you want in an easy simple bus trip to NYC.

### 2/5 — Can’t book tickets from Tysons VA

*2019-02-07, version 1.1.9*

App is straightforward but for some reason I can’t book tickets from Tysons VA to anywhere. Makes it pretty much useless for me. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Broken Sit

*2025-03-14, version 1.3.1*

What a horrible ride. The sit was broken, I could not sit properly, in the meantime, there were 4 sit empty in the front but the driver did not allowed me to sit in those empty sits. The air conditioning was in full capacity while the front of the bus was warm. What a terrible situation.

### 1/5 — Bad customer service

*2024-12-29, version 1.3.1*

We reach at time for departure but driver ignore us and  he leave us.  very careless and nonresponsible servics.    
still im waiting for fefund my money  , im not getting response yet. 
  Im not suggest to GoBuses services for everyone

### 1/5 — No customer service at all

*2024-08-02, version 1.3.1*

If you cancel the tickets because of your personal issues you don’t get cash value refund they give points and you can’t use it if you decide to buy tickets again because if you don’t use it you will lose your money so the system doesn’t let you redeem your points but try to charge you the full amount this is horrible if you call no one answers.O my Gosh

### 1/5 — App crashes a lot

*2024-02-26, version 1.3.1*

Probably designed very cheaply. Crashes a lot for example when click on the corners.

### 1/5 — Charged me twice, no ticket

*2024-02-11, version 1.3.1*

Title says it all, literally stole like $80 from me and kept saying my card was declining and I check my bank and they took money from me.

### 1/5 — Do Not Recommend

*2022-10-12, version 1.3.1*

We waited over an hour for the bus, it never arrived. I tried calling and emailing and got no response even after 24 hours. Call center says closed despite the website telling you to call any time after 730 7 days a week. Absolutely terrible customer service. Will never use again. Go with BestBus.

### 1/5 — Not useable

*2020-11-30, version 1.3.0*

App no longer works to allow choosing date of travel, cannot search for tickets

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2020-10-13, version 1.3.0*

Since iOS 14, app is nonfunctional.

### 1/5 — Torture

*2019-11-10, version 1.2.1*

Like riding in a sauna. The heat was unbearable. Driver was asked more than once to cool the bus off. Miserable ride. People were getting sick from the heat.

### 1/5 — Customer service

*2019-10-04, version 1.2.1*

Customer service is terrible.  No response and the website does not have what it claims to have.

### 5/5 — Best Bus ride ever!

*2020-06-14, version 1.3.0*

I took a trip from Manhattan to Tyson’s Corner, Virginia to see my grandmother. The seats were so comfortable and the ride was so smooth. While I was on my way to Virginia, everyone was quiet. They were not talking so it was so relaxing! I can’t wait to go to Virginia again to see my family! It was an awesome ride.

### 5/5 — Incredible Trip

*2020-02-09, version 1.2.1*

I’ve been a frequent traveler for over a decade to and from NYC and Academy is by far the best. Affordable unlike Greyhound Academy is very clean, friendly drivers, quick and efficient trip! I would highly recommend Academy to be first choice.

### 5/5 — Right on time and very convenient

*2019-11-30, version 1.2.1*

I live in Sharon and my daughter studies in Columbia University NY.. GoBuses are very convenient for us to pickup/drop off from Newton and they are always on time. They send some deals too which save money.

### 5/5 — Only good transport app

*2019-08-07, version 1.2.1*

The Go Buses app is the only app for booking/managing bus or train tickets that I have ever had a positive experience with. The buses themselves are usually very comfortable and clean, and service, while not perfect, is definitely better than most other intercity bus companies. The app is so easy and it’s great that you don’t need to log into an account to view your tickets (or past journeys), it’s all saved locally on your phone.

### 5/5 — Best bus ride ever!!!

*2019-07-29, version 1.2.1*

Go bus is the best bus ride ever. From New York to Manassas Virginia very smooth ride my children loves it and look forward for another ride.

### 5/5 — Great service n the driver is the captain of the ship.

*2019-07-19, version 1.2.1*

Perfect timing, thought Greyhound is the backbone of the us trasportation but they are in competition n Go bus is the pioneer.Wish them all the best, n they are beating their limit, ofcourse I will go my next vacation or break with go bus, hope and pray that my next travel with that same driver bcoz of his hospitality service n friendshipness,forgot to ask his name of the captain but he is arabic decent so far i remember he is from Egypt. Bless him n his family keep America rolling.

### 5/5 — Thanks to Go Buses

*2019-06-10, version 1.1.9*

Thanks to Go Buses, you are doing what we want

### 5/5 — Easy

*2019-05-30, version 1.1.9*

Got the app right after buying tickets online. Shows me my RSVP’s, where to go for pick up and a lot more. The email and even online isn’t as informative as the app.

### 5/5 — GO Bus

*2019-04-30, version 1.1.9*

Very easy app to navigate. I like the layout. Very calm and subtle
