Faulty server at Bolt Bus
I tried to make reservations on Bolt Bus. The server at Bolt Bus kept freezing and changing reservations. I have been charged for two trips that were booked by the faulty server. I will not be traveling with Bolt Bus!!! Please issue refunds to my credit card.

Bus bus often a good deal.
Bus driver of 11:45 bus out of DC was out of line mouthing off on me and made me quite upset. Bus was already late. Picked up quite a few passengers in Baltimore. One of the last persons getting on was a woman carrying a great big laundry size bag full to the brim or equivalent of a weekender suitcase. Driver told woman her bag was too big to bring on the bus and it should be placed with luggage. She ignored him and continued walking up and down bus to get a seat or sit next to someone, but wasn't able to. As it turns out, there were many empty seats and apparently nobody who was settled in would move or make room for her. That bag she had needed a seat all by itself. So she came back to front of bus and me. I was sitting next to window on seat behind the driver. It was already a tight fit. I weigh 200 lbs, was sitting sideways to give my feet and legs a little more space. I wasn't especially comfortable in the seat as it was, but I like being able to see much of the road ahead. I'm also 70 yrs old. My vision is not 20/20 for sure. Woman asked me if she could sit in space where I was. I had only a pocketbook and small paper bag there. I simply told woman that it was a tight squeeze. She didn't care. She had to have her way. I repeated that it was already tight. Then the bus driver started chastising me saying "as long as woman had a paid ticket she could sit anywhere she wanted and had a right to the seat and on and on. I explained that I never said she couldn't sit there but let her know it wouldn't be good. He went on to say how he was in charge and controlled the bus and a bunch of other nonsense remarks loud enough for everyone on the bus to hear, bit insisted he wasn't going to argue with me. I said she could sit there and I'd move. Asked if there were any other seats. Apparently the driver didn't know and didn't care and had no interest in what would be very uncomfortable for me. He said she was a small person. She was an adult and her bag took up the space of another adult and with me it would be like stuffed into a box. I'm sure I weigh more than the driver and wonder if he'd want to be unnecessarily squished like that for four hours! Please ask. So I got up, by the way I have sciatica, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, getting in and out of seats isn't fun. The woman who the driver stuck up for was a young woman. I didn't have trouble finding a seat although not to me liking. Most passengers weren't budging but one young woman quickly moved over. I went down to see how the space was being used afterwards. A small thin woman gave up her seat on other side to accommodate the great big bag. She then moved over to where I had been. Please note that I have been riding Bolt since you came to NYC and I always visit my only grown child, daughter, in DC. I'm was very upset. Very annoyed. And very disappointed in Bolt Bus employee service. Needless to say, very dissatisfied. I hope this matter is looked into. I hope there is some remedy. I'd appreciate a phone call also. 973-337-****

Price estimation
Please the same issue with yesterday’s ride the amount placed on the assumed rate is different from the money paid and so unfortunately I paid 800 naija yesterday the ride history jotted down 600 same as today despite the promo written down I paid 1200 instead of the 600 to 800 and still the ride history jotted down again 1000. This is very poor and as a child how do I start explaining to my parents that I paid more than that when the ride history will not even be able to back up my truth please do something about it as it could cause more scandal from another end.

Never Again
Booked a $20 trip from Tacoma to Seattle at 4:40 pm loading at 510 Pullayup (the Greyhound Station). Arrived on site at 4:25 pm. No bus. At 5:10 pm called customer service. I was told- there was a bus 1.5 hours south, or the bus broke down, or the driver did not show up for work. Next chance was 10:40 that night. I knew about the “no” refund policy but asked for waiver since I did nothing wrong. Told to submit an email for consideration. Walked 150 yards to the Sound Transit Terminal and paid $3.75 on my Orcas Card. Arriving in Seattle now (35) minutes. Looks like Bolt needs to go out of business. Lesson learned - Never Again.

Website Upgrade Sucks
The new website upgrade is horrible, instead of making it more user friendly, they made it worse for daily commuters. Before a commuter was able to book multiple tickets and pay 1 transaction fee, now we can only book 1 round trip, 2 tickets, and pay a transaction fee each time. Not only does it take 5x as long to book tickets for a week - month. We are charged 5x more in transaction fees. This is not a good upgrade for the commuter and I wouldn't suggest this bus company for anyone that has to commute to NYC. It's really sad because what set out to be a great alternative to expensive commuting has just become another expense commuting bus service. I do not recommend this bus at all, I would suggest you take the train or go to Greyhound where they have way more options for the same amount of money.

Terrible service again
There is absolutely no reason a bus that leaves NYC at 9am shouldn't be able to make it to Greenbelt, MD at 1:15. The bus i was on didn't leave Baltimore until 1 o'clock. That is just plain bad service. If you know that it's going to take longer, then you shouldn't be advertising the ride as taking 4 hours and fifteen minutes. The drivers showed no urgency to get us where we needed to be on time and, even though we were late, and we sat around in Baltimore while they talked to each other. Also, are Bolt Bus drivers not allowed to use a GPS? Because there have been multiple times where i have looked up the fastest route and the bus driver has not taken it. To me that is backwards and needs to be corrected.

Idiot driver
The driver of the bus on Sunday, November 4th 2018 from NYC to Boston.. complete idiot and arrogant moron. Pushing other cars over the line, chasing my rear bumper like crazy.. using high beams just because he can! People inside the bus for sure were very safe during those maneuvers, that idiot should not operate wheel barrel not to mention he/she for sure should be checked by some mental institution for such angry behavior. What a shame!!

Boltbus cut me off and some others
Today at 5.30pm in Philadelphia a Boltbus cut me off and brushed my car. The driver then cut off another driver and then preceded to go through a red light. The driver was driving extremely recklessly.

I'll Walk Before I take Bolt Bus Again!
I just got home from a Bolt Bus NYC to D.C. round trip journey today, 07/01/2018, and had went directly to my laptop to expose just how badly that company has declined since I first started using it to travel up and down the North-east corridor seven or eight years ago. I remember Bolt Bus carriers as being invariably clean and comfortable with reliable WI-FI connections and charging stations at every seat. This time round and it both directions, the buses were not only dirty, but old and run down. The polyester material on the seats were natty and worn, and several arm-rests had broken off polyurethane casings that should have covered them. The return journey started off in a bus that had minimal A/C on a 90-degree day and a bathroom door that didn't stay closed nor would lock when in use. That bus had mechanical issues requiring us to transfer to another within 20-minutes of leaving Union Station. But the second carrier was no better, it too, being run-down with a bathroom door that wouldn't lock and was held closed only with duct-tape. It, too, had WI-FI that continuously went down (and NO, this had nothing to do with my device!) and A/C that barely worked. I want to point out the staff on this trip were professional and polite, but everything about this experience indicated systematic under-investment and even dis-investment by the whoever is running this company now, and obviously into the ground. I once recommended Bolt Bus to everyone I know who traveled the North-east corridor as an affordable and comfortable carrier with great amenities. In future I'll tell them to avoid this company at all costs.
