I think the rest of the reviews on here have covered the basics of Megabus, so I'm not going to go into that. While I understand a lot of the negativity around them, I have to say that the 8 or 9 times I've taken the Megabus, I've never had a negative experience. In particular, yesterday I travelled from Cardiff to London. I had a great journey at the fraction of the cost of the train and only an hour longer! I paid £11.50 for my ticket, I could not have travelled by train this cheaply. The stop in Cardiff is literally 5 minutes off the main shopping street. It's easy to find and as they have one stop, you can't get confused and go to ...  Read the complete review

First of all Megabus should be made to remove the £1 advertsiment as it is in most cases not true and it mis-leads travellers into thinking that they are a low cost service. After shutting it's competition out with low price promises they have increased the prices significantly. This is noticable during holiday periods where they hike the prices. I was a regular Greyhound Bus UK traveler from London to Glasgow until Greyhound no longer could compete. Now that Stagecoach Buses (the owner of Megabus and other coaches) has more or less a monopoly, they can charge pretty much what they like. Seating - if you are 5ft 10in or taller you will suffer from Megabus lack ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to coach travel Megabus is usually the cheapest option. I have travelled with them a few times both on the regular coach and the sleeper bus service. Travelling by the regular coach is usually ridiculously cheap, even if you buy on the day of travel. However you do get what you pay for. The coach is usually crammed full, there is very little legroom and the coach can be noisy. If you are travelling at night it can be hard to sleep with other passengers chatting, listening to music and the noise of the actual coach so if you do plan to sleep take some ear plugs. The seats aren't as comfortable as they are on some other coach services. However the coach ...  Read the complete review

I travelled with Megabus Cardiff to London in August 2012. A double decker bus load of passengers were left waiting outside our bus in the pouring rain for over one hour after the departure time. The bus driver only let us on the bus when somebody knocked on the window. I can only imagine what he was doing on the bus for all that time but he was definitely unstable. He delayed us another fifteen minutes because he was unable to shut a door. During the journey he pulled over onto the hard shoulder, claimed there was a mechanical fault and burnt the clutch to make everyone panic about the smell of burning. He blew his horn numerous times at overtaking cars for ...  Read the complete review

This is a copy of my complaint sent to Megabus on 13th February 2012 and again on the 28th. As yet no acknowledgment. I have dealings with hundreds of foreign students, who regularly want the cheapest method of travel, guess which company will lose out on my recommendation!!!! Since May 2011 I have used Megabus to travel between London Victoria and Edinburgh on 6 occasions. In general I would have said that this was a good service and have, on several occasions, recommended Megabus. In September 2011 I travelled overnight with no heating. The bus driver did not advise passengers that there was a problem and was rather off-hand when asked, by a ...  Read the complete review
