I don’t know why I take this bus… The driver has stopped four times from New York to Bethesda on a day when there was absolutely no traffic. The delay is not worth it for the quality of service and th... See more

On July 19th, we had a very bad experience with Vamoose on our trip to NYC from MD. First, few minutes before departure time at Bethesda, we were asked to get off the bus and transfer to another bus.... See more

Easy commute

I love using Vamoose. I use it every time I travel home and it is a simple easy and inexpensive method to get home. Definitely a fan!

A pleasure

My partner is, for the most part, confined to a wheelchair. From the moment we arrived at the bus station (Bethesda) to the time we got off at the other end (Penn Station, New York) every member of staff went beyond the call of duty to ensure that our journey was made safely and comfortably. We were treated with respect and kindness. The journey to New York and the return journey from New York went so smoothly that the 4 hours went by without notice. I could spend all day writing positive things about our experience with Vamoose. Well done.

The Best Way to Travel to New York City

I have been traveling to NYC on Vamoosebus for over 5 years. Ever since my first granddaughter was born, I have found that this bus company is efficient, safe, and responsible. There are various reasons for my opinion. The drivers have shown good judgement and skill. Moreover, the buses have been clean. Both my husband and I have driven to NYC when necessary and it is not an easy ride especially at our age. To arrive rested and ready after such a long trip is very much appreciated. And the cost is really minimal compared to driving on your own or taking Amtrak. We are so happy to board the bus at Lorton, Virginia because we live in Woodbridge. Go Vamoosebus!

Vamoose great for bus trips and cheap price

I've been a customer of Vamoose for about 5 years now. Their service is great espcecially considering the price. The people that organize, handle and drive the bus are cosniderate and efficient. The buses are always clean - including bathroom. Travel time consistently meets the expected times. Here are few examples of what could be improved:

A) REST STOP? ADDL STOPS?- Because it is the drivers discretion to make a rest stop, it would be appreciative if this were announced ahead of time. As respects to other stops such as Bethesda, unless I consult the website they don't tell us if we are making such a stop in advance. Such information would be appreciated.

Vamoose bus charges an affordable rate of only $60 for round trip service to Arlington. This is very appreciate considering other bus lines and particularly AMTRAK charge far more increased fees.

Vamoose also offers bonus points which can translate tnto free rides which are a nice surprise. One expereience I had was in calling Vamoose customer service to book a trip - the representatvie went to the trouble to see if I had bonus points before she would let me make a payment.

I'm very impressed with this organization.

One of the best options

I ride the bus a lot and Vamoose is one of the best buses available. Clean and on time, way better than Mega, Bolt, and especially Greyhound.

I rely on Vamoose

Since the birth of my first grandchild in 1998, I have travelled to NYC from Bethesda about every other month. First, till "9/11" I went by air shuttle. Then Amtrak, but the Red Line Metro to Union Station was so unreliable and hence anxiety provoking ! My salvation arrived in the form of Vamoose, great for me since I live just over a mile away in Bethesda from the Waverley "station." Convenient, reliable, even safer lately with seat belts and almost luxurious if I can get a Gold bus ( please run more of Golds on weekend!). My only wish for improvement would be in return from 30 th and Seventh, provide temporary umbrellas or canopy for lineup when await boarding bus!

Clean and Professional

Ever since I started using Vamoose for my roundtip travel from Rosslyn to New York, I have been pleased with the professional manner with which they run their bus service. The buses are always clean and the driver's are always funny and courteous.

This is one great travel option!

I've used Vamoose Bus on 3 trips to Bethesda MD over the past 6 months and every time has been a pleasure. Changing reservations is a breeze and the trips were quick and without incident. I love that every seat has an outlet for your phone and everyone involved is pleasant, helpful and knows their business. Is it possible to look forward to the next bus trip??!! I would definitely recommend Vamoose Bus to anyone looking for a trusted and comfortable way to get to Bethesda!

Consistently outstanding.

I use the bus on an almost monthly basis to go from Washington DC to NYC and back. I have never had a bad experience. The company has departure pickup sites well organized, friendly helpful folks on site to help, and they keep a schedule. Their rewards program to earn points for free trips, as well as flexibility in changing reservations or putting them on hold for future trips also is great.

Best Bus

I've taken a few different buses to between VA and NYC and Vamoose is by far the best option for the price. Not only are they well organized, on-time and polite, but the bus is noticeably cleaner than their competitors. Definitely the best bus option to NYC.

could not have been better.

We did a round trip Bethesda-New York. Outbound was fast and uneventful. On the return trip, we got to the bus stop at 9.20 am Sunday for 10.30 am bus. There were open seats for the 9.30 am bus and we were boarded without any trouble and got to Bethesda an hour earlier!

Most trustworthy travel

This bus service is clean, reliable and the ride is simply awesome. Get a window seat, kickback and enjoy. Even the fellow passengers are pleasant to each other. The young men who work the luggage are well-mannered and the drivers are so professional. I will continue to ride Vamoose.
