Inside the bus
Clare Marie K.

Great service. Friendly driver. He announces the stops by the map number and name of location. First time I have ever taken the Phlash. Philly is a walking city, but there are times hopping a bus makes sense.

Phlash bus stop at fhe Phila. Art Museum...

Fantastic! $5 day to go allll over Philly, do not miss the Zoo, the Philadelphia Art Museum and relax in Rittenhouse Sq. Park! Air-conditioned new buses, great knowledgeable Drivers. Do not hesitate!!!

A clean, comfortable and air conditioned ride.

The Phlash is inexpensive and worth it if you are going to be in the city traveling around site seeing. If you plan on more than one day, it is worth it. I purchased a booklet of ticket events at the visitor center and included in the packet is a two day ride on the PHLASH. The buses are pretty clean and the drivers are friendly, helpful and informative. The biggest gripe is that they never seem to be on time and you wait an extra 15 minutes over their scheduled time of arrival. The stops are spread out so you still find yourself walking around. It still beats walking especially if the weather is not favorable. Perfect way to get to the Reading Terminal Market, the art museum or the penitentiary.

Best value in Philly. For $5 you can see all the sites in a day at your own pace.

The most Rudest, Disrespectful, Horrible Customer Service just for a cheaper bus!!!…read more They have a lot of different mixed up times as to when the bus Actually Leaves!!! When I called I was told the bus my ticket was for is leave 12noon turns out it left 10AM!!!! There's No Noon Bus!!!!!

I had a good experience with this bus company. I got my ticket the day before, and it was the…read morestandard price for Philly-NYC when purchasing online: $12.99. There was enough space in my 10 am bus on a Tuesday for most people to get their whole row, but I suppose that is highly dependent on the day and time. I found the bus to be clean, and the riders quiet and respectful. They do lose a star because the bus doesn't have any design on it and there's no company supervision/workers by it. Because I had purchased my tickets through Wanda Coach, I couldn't be sure which bus I was supposed to get on, and other passengers had told me this wasn't "the Wanda Coach bus." There were no workers outside the bus taking tickets and supervising the bags in the bottom of the bus. I was definitely uncomfortable leaving my bag out in the open in the middle of the street before the driver closed it up and we left. All in all, however, it was a pretty good deal, and we made it to Chinatown only a few minutes late because of NYC traffic!

Flix bus is one of those new so called improvements over Greyhound over the last 10-15 years…read more Greyhound has replaced many routes with Flix buses. I first took flix in 2021 or so from NYC to DC. what I remember was being dumped by a hotel downtown in the middle of the night. and the cabbies weren't working because it was a holiday. I also remember no or a very inadequate bathroom. long time ago though. Last week I wanted to go to Montreal. back 15 years ago I would take greyhound bus from Mt. Laurel (where I lived). and catch the midnight connect to Montreal. It was a real bus station where I could wait and where I park my car in the free and safe parking lot for a whole week, if needed. so I try to book a bus ticket to Montreal today- Greyhound Mt Laurel gone but Flix bus replaces them. so I get a Flix bus that leaves from Cherry Hill Mall where I take a taxi to because there's no place to park your car and stand around on the street corner wait like an idiot with 50 lbs of luggage. Sigh of relief. the bus came. but- coming home from Montreal- first, Flix scares the living crap out of me by sending me a form that i had to fill out to cross the border. turns out it didn't apply to me. but...then I arrive in NYC like 4:30 in the am two hours before expected on a Sunday morning. my connection bus doesn't come until 10 am. the 31st "station"in NYC is nothing but a strip of concrete to park the buses. so nothing open and 50 lbs of luggage to drag around. I bought a train ticket back today as far as being cost effective, seriously the round trip ticket from Southern NJ to Montreal was $318. wtf

I bought a ticket online tonight for a 10:30pm bus going from Philadelphia to NYC. When I went to…read moreload onto the bus the driver yelled at me that my ticket was actually for tomorrow's date. I made an error when purchasing the ticket. I attempted to get onto the app and switch the ticket to today. The ticket I had was just purchased minutes before. It was an unused ticket. Instead of assisting me the driver (pictured above) continued yelling at me that it was the wrong date. There were many empty seats left on the bus. The app was not allowing me to update the trip date.
