Vamoose driver talking into cellphone while holding rosary beads. One hand on the wheel!

I rode the Vamoose Satuday, July 13th the 12:00 noon NYC to Bethesda. An Employees announces to everyone seated that we are to be quiet, not make long cell phone calls, not talk loudly. The driver goes into the back of the bus to use the bathroom before we leave. She comes out and yells out the doors to the Vamoose workers that the toilet is broken. The employee dude standing outside said he didn't have time to go get any water!! I'm thinking we won't be able to wash our hands. WRONG. Just as the bus is pulling away from the curb - the driver announces that the bathroom is not working. She says we can use it for "#1, for pee, but not for #2 !" WHAT?? I'm on this bus for 4 - 5 hours!! I sat in the front seat across from the driver, love looking out the giant windshield. From about Phillie onward to DC, the driver was only using one hand ( several fingers really) on the steering wheel. Bit of a worry, and in that hand she also clutched rosary beads!! OMG !! What happened to hands on 10 & 2 ? Her left hand was busy holding up her blue cellphone cord/mic and she chatting & laughing. This isn't what 'hands free' looks like. Maryland is a hands free state, don't know about the others, didn't feel safe with this driver one iota.

Vamoose Gold inside of bus.

Took the Vamoose Gold bus from NY to Northern Va on a Tuesday afternoon. The bus is very nice inside but wow what a rough; bouncy ride once inside the bus and on the road. This is my reason for knocking off two stars. I've taken the Best Bus Prime on a similar route and the ride was wayyyyy smoother. Otherwise pretty much a quiet ride with people minding their own business. I might travel on this bus again but only if Best Bus Prime isn't available.

How often does the bus break down? Can I see most recent reviews first? Is there much of a difference in Gold and regular bus?

Bus is generally our favorite (convenience, cost, and speed) and we had an excellent experience with Tripper bus this weekend. To and from NYC, our buses were incredibly prompt, clean, fully operational (all power outlets worked), and safely operated. The convenience was incredible and for each leg the bus was right on time. We made it to NYC in well under 4 hrs and it was just a pleasant all around ride. The seats are a bit more cramped than Amtrak, but we rode the basic bus. Compared to Amtrak (which has been delayed every time we've taken it), the bus was easier, cheaper and more convenient.

His attitude was dismissive and unsafe. The way this man drove, I don't even drive like that in my car. I actually had to delete this review and repost after I left the bus. That's how bizarre the whole thing was. I put in two starts because the Admin lady on the phone gave me a partial refund for the first leg of my trip since that trip was cancelled and she gave me that refund in minutes. She was curt but polite and efficient. I'm never taking Tripper or Gunther buses ever again. This is the most expensive greyhound service I've ever been on.

The $30 one-way fare was slightly more than I've paid on other bus lines, but I figured Vamoose must be offering extra perks to justify the higher cost. I arrived at the pickup location about forty minutes prior to the departure time and there were already at least twenty people ahead of me on the line. Soon after I arrived, one of the Vamoose representatives began checking names off on his list. He handed a boarding pass to each person after confirming his or her reservation. We started boarding the bus thirty minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. About ten minutes later, every seat was occupied and we were on our way--a whole twenty minutes ahead of schedule. There wasn't anything fancy about the bus - just your standard seats, zero power outlets, no seat belts or wifi. In other words, no bells and whistles! The bus ride to Bethesda was four hours long with no rest stop. Fortunately, I got off at the first stop in Bethesda, but the bus was also scheduled to make a second stop in Arlington. Vamoose Bus has an organized ticketing and boarding process, but the higher fare comes with less amenities than other bus lines. Side note: Vamoose does have a fleet of Gold buses equipped with amenities such as leather seats, a tray table, and more leg room, but at a cost of $50 for a one-way trip from NYC to MD, I'll pass.

Thank you Charles (driver), Jacob (owner) and David (dispatch/coordinator). From the initial on-line contact to get a price quote there was a response from Jacob by email within thirty minutes requesting more detail about pick up/drop off locations, time and number of passengers. The communication was excellent (from beginning to end) and the responsiveness was very impressive. Our superb driver Charles arrived about an hour early (which was great as many of the 14 adults using the Sprinter Van transportation had already arrived). The driver was caring, responsive, generous and had the Sprinter Van A/C cranked up and the van spotless inside and out. The driver's kindness and driving skills was remarkable in all of the passenger's opinion. He went out of his way to accommodate us. Our HS children used another transportation service (booked prior to the adults deciding to use transportation as well). There service was horrible. He was thirty minutes late for pick up, the Party Bus had no air conditioning (it was 90 some degrees for the one hour ride), had no working speakers, driver smelled of marijuana, drove erratically and did little to in regards to service. When we heard about this we terminated their service after the 1 hour of the 6 hours booked for the evening. Our driver Charles of Shalom Transportation, upon our request, took immediate action by contacting Jacob who was polite and generous and provided us with an impromptu remedy by providing our children with alternative transportation on the spot and the report from our HS children was that the service and transportation vehicle was excellent. David, Shalom's dispatcher, immediately stepped in to action (thank you) and provided immediate communication by text and our adjusted bill by email. We were pleased with Shalom Transportation LLC's communication, service and price and would use them again. Thank you Shalom Transportation LLC (specifically Charles, Jacob and Dave). -the Glasser Family.

I recently booked with Culdesac Chauffeur and was so pleased with my experience…read more I had not seen my sister since pre-pandemic. Once everyone in my family was fully vaccinated, we began to plan the long awaited reunion. Since I wasn't entirely sure of her schedule, I wasn't able to book until the day before we needed the driver so I was very happy that Culdesac was able to accommodate. From my initial phone inquiry until our drop off, every interaction with the business was professional. During my first phone call, I was able to book a driver for 5 hours to take us to a winery in Virginia. The winery is located over an hour away, so it was nice to be able to relax and not worry about driving. Everything was pretty seamless. Our driver (Rachid) was so professional and even arrived a few minutes early. He was a safe driver, kind and accommodating despite the non-stop storytelling and giggling between me, my sister and a childhood friend throughout the entire ride. Their pricing was upfront and pretty in line with quotes that I received from other businesses as well (and pricing was pretty transparent which I appreciate!) Thank you Culdesac for helping us make a very special weekend, safe and stress free.

A group of us was visiting Washington, DC for a hockey road trip…read more Two months prior to my trip, I emailed Culdesac, along with 2 other competitors for a price quote. Culdesac not only contacted me the same day, but they were the only ones who provided me with any form of communication, and I've yet to hear back from the other 2 companies. That alone catapulted Culdesac to 5 star status in my book! I had 11 people in my group and was suggested a 14 passenger Mercedes Sprint Van, picking up from IAD to downtown Washington for $275, which included tax and gratuity. I believe I spoke to Sammy, who was very helpful and friendly. Fast forward to February... The day before our trip, Sammy called me to reconfirm, and sent me our driver's name and number. A hiccup happened to our trip, and I sent Derek a text to come to the airport earlier than we agreed upon. Culdesac called to verify we needed an earlier pickup, Derek kept me in the loop of his transit time, and he came to the spot we told him we were at. Super professional! We decided to use Culdesac to take us back to the airport. Again the day before, I got a call and email reconfirming my pickup at 1:30 pm. We were told that Derek was going to take us back, but unfortunately a hiccup occured where his appointment was going to run over, so Derek texted me that someone else will pick us up, and not to worry. A few minutes after the text, Culdesac called me to say Derek was being replaced by Sam, and they texted me his number. Sam arrived at 1:15 in a 20 passenger van, just as nice as the Mercedes Sprinter, and even newer! It was also handicapped accessible, which was a good thing to remember if someone was disabled. He was just as courteous and got us to the airport safely and quickly. I honestly believe this company deserves 5 stars. They were professional, easy to get a hold of via email and phone, and communicated with me from start to finish. They charged my card after the service was completed, and the tip and tax was included in the fee. I would gladly use them again if I am back in the DC area.
