Flixbus second go round , first time was from New Orleans in 2019. Bus use to pull up outside of the Grayhound station to pick up passengers. First ride from Houston to New Orleans round-trip. Arrived early to Shell gas station , bus pulled 10 minutes to departure. Loaded bus in assigned seats , actually paid to sit in row 4 , but was pushed back . Bus driver stated the first 2 rows remain empty the ones behind the bus driver and the seats on the opposite side. She states she didn't get in until 2am and had a turn around for this 9:40am bus. She needed sleep so keep our voices down. People boarded looking for their seats , they were taken so at this point just sit anywhere. Bus departs stops in Downtown Houston, Lake Charles Lafayette (25 minute Break) Baton Rouge, arrives in New Orleans, and actually pulls in station and parks . Appreciate being driven into station , especially since Megabus no longer operates Houston to New Orleans. Basically a deceit ride no issues , a few strange characters but overall it gets you safely to your destination. read more
