Megabus has all my rage.
14 years ago
So, this weekend i'm going up to buffalo to visit
darius-kei and attend
terminalfox 's birthday party.
WELP.
I go up to whitemarsh around 10:30 last night (8/6) to find the stop...i couldn't. I pull into a mcdonalds and ask, one of them say its at the parkandride across the street. So, i get there...wait an hour...more people show up headed to pennsylvania/buffalo/toronto.
WELL.
A bus arrives at 11:40...the wrong bus. The bus that showed up? Headed to DC. Ask the driver? He says theres another stop across the mall...bout ten minutes away. Drive like a bat outta hell, hoping its running late....actually drove past the marker TWICE because, GET THIS! The stop marker? THEY PUT IT ON TOP OF A TRASH CAN!
Needless to say, i'm frigging infuriated....BUT, IT GETS BETTER!
Their customer service was closed until 7:30 this morning, i called...only to learn i not only couldn't get a refund because i ordered online, but ALSO that all today's trips were BOOKED! So, it /had/ looked like i was shit outta luck till my mom (bless her even though she can be infuritaing) suggested a train...i got one of the last tickets for the amtrack trip to buffalo at 12:09pm today (8/6)
Tl;dr: DONT GO FOR MEGABUS! Go for greyhound which may be a lil more expensive, but at least they have CLEARLY MARKED TERMINALS AND SIGNS THAT SAY WHAT STOP IT IS!
