I've been riding the Vamoose Bus between Arlington and NYC for several months commuting weekly for work. It's an excellent company, completely reliable. The buses are comfortable and clean. The drivers are very professional. And the staff is friendly and helpful.
The seat was very uncomfortable. The bus was full and the driver had to take a break. Instead of 4,5h, it was almost 6h.. NEVER AGAIN.
I have never encountered any problems during my 5+ years of using Vamoose Bus for my travel needs to and from New York City. The drivers are very courteous, the bus is immaculate and the staff is very professional and always efficient.
Bus departed and arrived on time. Wifi worked sporadically. I would've liked to watch a movie during the round trip but none was shown.
I love the bus to Bethesda, where I am picked up by a friend. I would like to take the gold v=bus, but I would like it at mid-morning so I can get to Bethesda with some time left. Otherwise, it'scexcellentvway to get to Washington. I've tried driving, plane and train for years, and the bus is easier, faster and cheaper. Thanks !!
I have used Vamoose Bus service for a couple of years now, with great experiences most of the time. I once had a driver try to attempt to use his cellphone or music player, and thought better of it, and put it away, before I had a chance to comment, which I certainly would have done. My most recent trip, was successful, inspite of the driver bending over a couple to times to retrieve his lunch from his cooler, and eat said lunch, while maneuvering this large, fully loaded vehicle I was unaware of what he was doing until close to the end of the trip, when I spotted the cooler at his feet, and realized, what had happened. I am grateful that he was skillful enough to pull this off, safely, however, this is definitely not recommended behavior.
Reasonable, clean, efficient and easy to negotiate. For my purposes, the bus ride between Manhattan and Bethesda is the best.
I like to take Vamoose bus because of their buses are clean and comfortable. From booking my trip until my destination...everything on time....perfect.....thank you!
What I like about this bus service is the convenience of the parking lot in Bethesda and the fact that the bus always leaves on time. I'm able to park in the long term parking lot and wait for the bus under cover. There are several daily times to pick from and the price will vary accordingly. I have never had a "break down" or air conditioner problem but my daughter has in her travels back and forth from NYC. The bus Wi-Fi service is slow but it's there and the plug-ins for charging are convenient. I have always found the drivers and check in personnel courteous and competent. They have even helped me hail cabs in NYC. I definitely recommend this bus service.
Clean buses and courteous crew! And almost always on schedule! Only complaints are 1)need to fix the tray tables on the Gold buses - they are falling apart; 2) change the vinyl seats on the Gold buses - it feels cheap and is sweaty - yuck. the old ones were much better. Keep up the great service!!!
Vamoose is reliable, efficient, clean, almost always on time -- except when traffic doesn't permit it.
great, except for wifi; I can never seem to connect to wifi on buses
Generally I have had good drivers who know the NYC - Arlington Va route. They are noticeably quick and professional. Every once in a while I get a driver who is either new or has not reviewed the GPS quick route. My last driver unfortunately fell in the "clueless" category. Instead of taking the usual direct route, he decided to enter D.C. and then got lost somewhere in the downtown district. Those of us who know the route because we have done this many times immediately recognized the problem. Sure enough he made many detours and circling around before we reached our final destination, quite a bit late. Suggest that all drivers periodically review the trip routes.
I was very happy with the service. Even with a lot of traffic the. Driver went to a different route to avoid it. Thank you.
I had a very positive experience with Vamoose bus. The bus was nice and clean. Prices very reasonable. Departs and arrives right on schedule.
Vamoose provides excellent, reliable service between Arlington, VA and Bethesda, MD to NYC. The drivers are professional and courteous. The buses are well maintained and comfortable. The service is dependable.
My driver on Saturday, July 25th, leaving from Lorton, VA at 10:50am was absolutely terrible. She had stopped the bus for her convenience for 4-5 minutes and prohibited everyone else to get off. This was not fair because she had to use the restroom, and so did the rest of us. If we were not allowed off the bus, neither should she. She then stopped the bus and yelled at the entire bus. She was a terrible driver, took a longer route, and was completely rude. I will never ride with Vamoose again and you should not let her work with your company either if you want to keep the same customers!
Have had only wonderful experiences on Vamoose ... and I've been riding regularly for over 4 years now! Recommend to everyone, and wouldn't take any other form of transportation from MD to NYC! Thanks Vamoose!
I rode from DC to NYC, everything about the trip was "fine" except for the driver, who from the get-go was over-sharing via the loudspeaker about things passengers do that annoy him, and all the things we should refrain from doing. Nothing too ridiculous, just a long list of nit-picking that you don't expect from someone whose job it is to drive a bus full of people. When we arrived to NYC, we were turning a corner in Harold Sq, and the driver nearly plowed through a cross-walk full of pedestrians (who had the right of way). The driver engaged in a "pissing contest" with a young pedestrian, who had taken the driver's aggressiveness as a challenge. The pedestrian angrily stood his ground in the cross-walk, and the driver antagonistically inched the bus closer and closer to the pedestrian, until the pedestrian, fearing for his safety, lashed out and punched the bus door, now less than 6 inches from where he stood. All while other pedestrians crossed behind him. The driver then got on the loud speaker to tell us about what he thought of the young man, as well as his thoughts on the youth of today, etc. and this annoyingly continued until we docked on the side of the road. The driver was clearly wrong, according to the law as well as to human decency. Again, Vamoose got me to NYC in reasonable time and in 1 piece and that's primarily what I care about. The experience wasn't great, but that's what you get for a $30 bus ticket.
Vamoose was a great option for us. On time, smooth ride, clean and quiet bus, clean bathroom, convenient pick-up and drop-off locations. My only negative feedback is that the seats are quite tight and there's no room to move...like being on an airplane. It would be nice to have more room, but it's certainly tolerable.
