FlixBus US

Pros: The Driver was very nice and did an amazing job driving me and my husband home. We dropped off a vehicle with our son in the early AM who is stationed at Coronado Base. He dropped us off and we Experienced this for the first time. I was nervous but I am so happy we took the chance and went for it. The price we received at the late hours on our way to visit him. Cons: The seating is all I can say but it’s not bad. Tips: If the price remains or is offered low, take it! I felt safe and the bus was clean and the driver was friendly.
