Turimex International Bus Service - Screenshot taken while I was in the bus

What a horror. In Austin, Tx they keep on changing the drop off location. Sadly, this time the drop…read moreoff my mum at an unknown location at 4 am and the bus driver refused to give her the exact location where she was at and it was different for the last time. She is an elderly woman and doesn't know how to use her cell phone to find locations and she had no clue where she was at and she witnessed violence and was almost assaulted. I was able to find her due to an Uber driver helping me but it took me almost about two hours. Two hours of anguish, two hours that she stayed there out in the cold in anguish and I was afraid to lose her since she did not have the tools to locate herself. Horrible, disgusting and I am taking them to court for risking my mother's life.

Scam scam scam! They changed the time we bought the tickets for and did not let us know! When I…read morecalled to see to if we can move to the next scheduled bus they said no, When I asked if we could get our money refunded they said no. He stated to get the tickets transferred to the next time slot, we would have had to call an hour before our original time booked, per the terms stated. And that they could not refund the money per the terms stated. When I let him know there was nothing on the terms that said "they" could change the time to whatever time they desired at any time. He still said he could not do anything to refund or transfer the tickets!! I should have listened to the comments when they said not to purchase their tickets!!! Still made it to Monterrey however since I bought a round ticket from Turimex I traveled back to Dallas on this bus. The bus never made pit stops so it's a 10hr+ bus without food or water. The bus did have outlets for chargers but they did not work. The seats are uncomfortable and they pack the bus as much as they can. I don't know if this is all the drivers but our driver asked for tips at the end of the ride. Worst experience traveling.

I took my first trip on MegaBus from San Antonio to Dallas a while back. Sure, you can get there…read morequicker in a car, but the amount of time on the bus wasn't too much longer. It only took us 5 hours and 25 minutes to get from the pickup point in SA to the drop off point in Dallas. Since COVID times, rider attendance is down, so they don't seem to be using the double decker buses with the tables facing each other. It was a standard Greyhound type bus contracted out of Kerrville, but we were able to sleep and watch Netflix on their free WiFi, and take advantage of their power plugs. Both 110V standard plugs for laptops, as well as USB charging ports. The bus even had a restroom for the 5 hour trip, and the bus was clean and in good shape. Tickets from San Antonio to Dallas are only $32.54 - one way (including taxes, fees, etc.). You just can't beat that with a stick! Keep in mind that they will make a stop in Austin to drop people off and board additional passengers. The driver announced that it would be a 10 minute stop, but it was closer to 30 minutes. Regardless, we still made it to DFW ahead of schedule. Pickup and drop off spots: San Antonio - just a big old parking lot. No indoor waiting area, so don't show up too early. Austin- it looks like they have an indoor facility but it was closed by the time we got there. Dallas - drop off - located at Fuel City, which is a popular food and party place on late Saturday nights. I hope I don't have to use this service again any time soon, but it's good to know it's there if you need it! I would use it again if necessary. Good value!

Waited for 20 minutes before the bus was supposed to arrive, and over an hour after the bus was…read moresupposed to leave, and the driver never showed up!!Waited along with 15 others. Agent on the phone will not reimburse us for our ticket? TALK ABOUT FRAUD!!! Disputing the charge with my bank at AMEX, and consulting an attorney for further investigation against this company despite it's illegal and unethical practices in its "terms and conditions".

Other than that , bringing a blanket would have helped. Once we got to San Antonio, that station needs upgrade bad!!! So ugly n old n it's very sm looks like a spooky area to be ! They should considered that it's next to landmarks?? N make it nice n pleasant looking . I didnt want to go inside it was packed w people waiting to get on the train . Omg they looked like sardines. We waited outside n called a taxi , It was freezing but better than smelling n breathing all those people inside yak!!! San Antonio clean up ur train station!!!

Overall disappointing experience with this location, the staff and the service. The station is…read morefilthy. There is no sign of employees except for the occasional sighting. The train sat there for well over 90 minutes without letting anyone board. The "dining car" had issues with meals and you had to make reservations (on a train!)! The diner car staff had no problem announcing that in El Paso there is a burrito lady like 6 times only to see a uniformed Amtrak woman helping this unlicensed vendor on the platform!!! I think she was making change! The cafe was the saving grace as you cannot just go eat in the dining car. I thought this would be fun and relaxing but it turned out to be so much like riding a Greyhound bus that it will probably be the last time in my life that I try it. Spend the money, take a plane or drive yourself.

I booked 2 tickets for a trip and the return trip for $56. I cancelled it now 2 nights before the…read moretrip and I only got $16 back in the form of a voucher. This is a written part of their policy but that does not excuse that this a major theft of money. I had a family emergency that has caused me to cancel my trip with ample notice and this is a joke of a cancellation policy. I remember 5 years ago, canceling a trip with flix bus only a few hours before my trip and getting a full refund back to my card.To be refunded barely a 3rd of the cost of my trip in essentially the form of a coupon is truly the height of corporate greed.

FLIXBUS: YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS…read more I paid for a trip from Austin to Houston. What I got was a terrifying experience that could have ended in tragedy -- followed by a customer service response that is just as appalling. Our driver was swerving across lanes and nearly running other cars off the road. This wasn't a minor driving mistake or a little discomfort on a road trip. The situation was so dangerous that we had to make the bus stop and get off for our own safety. We called 911, and police pursued the bus and pulled it over. Read that again. PASSENGERS HAD TO GET OFF A BUS AND CALL 911 BECAUSE OF THE DRIVER'S BEHAVIOR. And what is FlixBus's response to this nightmare? REFUSING TO REFUND OUR TRIP. Apparently, passengers can pay for transportation, end up in a genuinely dangerous situation, involve law enforcement, and then be told they're still not entitled to their money back. What exactly does it take for FlixBus to accept responsibility? Does someone have to get hurt before passenger safety becomes more important than keeping the fare? I didn't pay to gamble with my life on the highway. I paid for a bus ride. I have already reported this incident to FlixBus. I am asking the company to take this seriously, investigate what happened, and issue a refund. Passengers deserve better than a terrifying ride followed by a refusal to make things right. FlixBus, this is your opportunity to do the right thing. Refund this trip, address what happened, and stop treating a serious passenger safety incident like an ordinary customer service complaint. I would think twice before trusting this company with my safety -- and I strongly encourage anyone considering FlixBus to understand what happened here. #FlixBus #PassengerSafety #CustomerService #AustinToHouston
