    Bus stop in Bakersfield.  Exterior of bus.
    Robert W.

    1) Got to bus stop at 5:30AM in San Francisco for a 6AM bus to Los Angeles. I think leaving this early is ideal if you want to miss traffic- plus I slept most of the morning away cause I was so tired from waking up at 4AM so the ride didn't seem as long. 2) Boarding was easy- show them your reservation number on your smartphone or ticket and they put your larger luggage in the lower cabin. 3) The seats are nice, I paid $1 extra to reserve my seat- I wouldn't pay extra to reserve a seat, it's all the same shit really. Arm rest, outlets, light, air, more foot room than an airplane. 4) It would be fun if I were with friends and is fine for solo riders too. I'd do it again.

    Was looking for a cheap way to get from San Francisco to LA and was recommended by a friend to try Megabus. I was able to get a fare as low as $15 one way which was still cheap comparing to the cost of gas I would pay to drive down. Bus stop is outdoors at the Caltrain bus zone so I would recommend bringing an jacket while waiting. The bus was on time and we arrived at Union Station 20 minutes early. I would suggest bringing a blanket since the bus is freezing cold. Don't rely on the wifi working, the wifi was broken on bus #606. Overall the staff was nice and were very nice talk to. Highly recommend using Megabus if you are looking for a low cost road trip.

    Boom! $17 to take the megabus from SFO to Reno. If we rented a car we would've arrived maybe only 30 minutes earlier... and have had to pay over $100 more! The bus is pretty clean and the free Wi-Fi isn't super slow. Get in line to board the bus at least 20 minutes early to make sure you get that window seat. The process of buying your ticket and boarding the bus is so easy! Just be sure to bring snacks and wear socks. It can be a bit chilly inside the bus!

    Awesome sunroof!

    I've been using Megabus since I've known about it about 2-3 years ago. At that time, you could reserve a bus seat minutes before departure. Now that it has gained some loyal riders and their friends, waiting the last minute will get you a seat for the next day! I'm a fan of this because of the price. And only the price! Pros: A ticket from SF to Sacramento ranges from $3-$15, usually cheaper than Amtrak and Greyhound. It has long windows on all sides of the bus, so it's really nice to look outside during the ride! It also has outlets under every seat. Cons: The windows are sealed shut, so if someone next to you decides to eat, you're out of luck! Since it's a public mode of transportation, the bus will be late (or early) once in a while. The AC will always be on, so bring a sweater! Overall: I'll keep riding this bus between SF and Sacramento until I can! The price woos me too much!

    I call it the NO STRESS EXPRESS! Here's the low down: *It's cheap $29.99 maximum price, or as low as $1 *Free wifi (doesn't always work) *Power outlets to charge your phone or electronic devices *Air Condition bus (it was TOO cold for my liking, but bring a blanket & you'll be ok) *Safe *It includes 1 stop for a pee/food break *Allows food/eating on board *Line up early for best seat selection *Friendly driver *Best views from the upper deck of the bus *Lower deck of the bus has tables for playing cards with friends/family (if traveling with others) Overall, it was a great experience. You can't even beat the deal of $29.99 one-way on a bus and with gas prices being so high, this would be your best bet. You can always rent a car while in LA to get around if you need to. I'm definitely going to ride the megabus again with a blanket in tow to stay warm.

    SF-LA: After being 3 HOURS behind schedule the bus runs out of gas on an off ramp (20 minutes from end destination).

    I've taken Megabus before from San Francisco down to LA Union station (and vice versa). The prices are cheap and they have working electrical outlets, which is great! It's still a bus ride - so it can get a bit uncomfortable, but overall I thought Megabus was a great company. However, I just had the WORST Megabus expereince and I will NEVER be riding Megabus again. First of all we were 3 hours behind schedule. I understand this isn't entirely Megabus' fault - you can't help traffic, but the Megabus could have tried to be on time for departure instead of 20 minutes late. There was no toilet paper or soap in the bathroom - I know I shouldn't expect much from bus bathrooms, but at least some toilet paper?! We finally get through the grape vine, and are in the LA area (20 minutes away from LA Union Station) I can finally see the light! We get off at the off ramp and the bus completely stops (It's 2:00am at this time - we were supposed to arrive in LA at around 11pm). The driver gets out and is on the phone chatting it up and pacing back and fourth. Everyone is tired and frustrated to be so far behind schedule. We all just want to be out of the bus. The bus driver then informs us that we ran out of gas! IN FRONT OF A GAS STATION!!!!! The bus driver had one job and he completely failed. He let us know that assistance is an hour away and there will be a back up bus. At this point everyone is either calling an uber or their ride to just get picked up at the off ramp. I ended up getting picked up at the off ramp and was so thankful! I felt terrible for those passengers headed to Anaheim (way too far for rides to pick them up in the valley) and those who didn't have a ride to take them to their end destination. Who knows how long they were really waiting for the back up bus. After this terrible experience I wanted a refund - I mean, I didn't even make it to my end destination! I called the customer service line - no one picks up. (What's the point of the customer service line?!) Instead I tweeted at Megabus to get their attention - I realized from other people's tweets that buses breaking down and being HOURS behind schedule isn't anything new. After a handful of tweets Megabus finally reached out and said they would compensate me - I check my email and it's 20% off my next booking! WHY DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND?! I AM NEVER BOOKING WITH MEGABUS EVER AGAIN!!! I just wanted my money back because I didn't even make it to where I was supposed to go! Don't waste your time with Megabus. I will say I have had some smooth trips, but a nightmare trip like this is worth staying away. I would genuinely hate for this to happen to anyone else. Avoid at all costs! MEGAFAIL BUS.

    That's a big bus!

Sharon was VERY communicative and was quick to respond to all my emails/texts. She made things REALLY easy for me; this made me feel comfortable bc I was not going to be on the actual ride and wanted to make sure my team was taken care of. Feedback from my team leader was that the driver, Lydia, was prompt, friendly and drove safely. Whew, I'm so glad this all worked out. I would definitely recommend CLS Global Transportation Inc.

Sharon was very prompt in responding to any questions I had. They sent the drivers info and contact number the day prior to our event which made it easy to follow up with any last minute changes.

I highly recommend using their services for any transportation needs.
