Living in New York City, I commute to the DC/Northern Virginia area several times each month. I've used Megabus, Greyhound and Bolt Bus in the past, but have looked no further after switching to Vamoose. Unlike the other companies, I've never had an issue with the bus leaving on time. There's also always a bus available for my trip (Greyhound ran out of vehicles one time I had scheduled a trip! Unbelievable!). They don't make you print your ticket, it's all electronic done on an iPad (if you don't print your ticket for Greyhound, you're not getting on the bus. Even if you do have an email confirmation...I believe the same goes for Bolt Bus). The bus attendants and drivers are always so nice and accommodating. I also find that the buses are typically more comfortable than the other companies (Megabus is very uncomfortable, especially after a long trip). The outlets are always operational (I've had an issue with this on Megabus several times). And the pick-up and drop off locations are great. Centrally located, near Penn station in New York, and offers drop offs at a spot in Maryland and two locations in Virginia. I prefer this over getting dropped off in the heart of Washington D.C. - where the other companies drop. Another big sell for Vamoose is their website. It's super user friendly and is a great tool for those who commute often. If you make an account, every time you purchase a ticket you accumulate points. After 120 points, you get a free trip. Also, should you need to change your ticket to another day or time, it can all be done on your online account. There's no fee to change your scheduled trip (you only pay the price difference if a ticket costs more, or they'll refund you if you switch to a cheaper ticket). This is not the case for the other companies and I've found their websites to be confusing, especially in comparison to Vamoose. As a side note, I've also left something on a Vamoose bus. I immediately called the headquarters after I realized this and asked if they had the item I left. They confirmed they did and I came by and picked it up - it was wonderful to know they'd taken care to check the bus after everyone got off and put my item in their lost and found. I cannot rave more about Vamoose. I've been using them for about a year now and will never use any other company!

Have been riding this bus for five years and it is very efficient and dependable. Fair priced, and always on time. My only complaint is that they do not have a great lost and found service- have lost two items on the bus.

I have taken Vamoose Bus to and from NYC from Bethesda eight or ten times. Apart from the occasional disruptive passenger, the trips have been enjoyable. Buses are almost always on time, delayed only when traffic is exceptionally heavy. When it appeared recently that I was going to miss a 5:30 bus from Penn Station, I sent an email explaining that I was running late and asking if I could get n the 7:00 pm bus if I didn't make it. I received a fast and positive reponse within a few minutes. (I actually arrived on time for the 5:30 bus and my seat was still resrved.) For those who use cell phones, tablets, and computers -- virtually all passengers as I have observed -- every seat has a plug in conection to keep the devices charged. Also, WiFi is offered. That is the only disappointment, as the bandwidth is so narrow that connections are difficult (not impossible) to make.

I like to use Vamoose Bus for my trips from Bethesda to NYC. It’s clean, almost always on time, very easy to exchange a ticket if you need or you are late. Only some time I and other passengers are having temperature problems on the board. For some reason, specially in summer, it’s just frizzing inside and the drivers put the air-conditioning on so high level of flowing that you have to put hat on your head and scarf, otherwise you’ll be sick at the end of trip. Also I don’t like when the bus stops on the middle of the way (because it never takes less then 30 min), specially when a driver knows that it will be traffic at the end of the trip or we were in traffic in the beginning. To improve - Wi-Fi, it’s so weak, you can barely enter in your e-mail.

In Bethesda, a suitcase can hold my place in line, NY Times and water offered too.

My recent trip on Vamoose Bus from Bethesda to Penn Station was very pleasant. We left on time and arrived when promised. I recommend this company without hesitation.

Clean bus. Courteous staff. Only. Way to travel

It was smooth, pleasant on time and uneventful.
