Average score for buses from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis
(Based on 1 ratings and reviews)
4.0
Pros: The driver was exceptional. Cons: My email confirmation came through late and I did not have the reservation number. There was no other way to look up my reservation. I finally found it, but it was only for my return trip. The front desk could not help. I was referred to a manager who eventually went into some system and found my reservation. It should not have been that complicated.
