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

Wonderful -

I have been riding Vamoose for a few years and I always recommend it to everyone I know that travels to NY.
On Sunday May 10th I took the 8:30pm bus from NY to Lorton. When I arrived at 1am unfortunately my car had been towed - unbeknown to me I parked in the one row that has the Farmers Market on Sunday, May - Oct . I don't have family in the area. So it was pretty scary situation. Your bus driver went above and beyond and took me home. What a blessing that was. I don't know his name, but I am so very grateful.
Question - What happen to our Vamoose coordinator at the VRE? The gentleman that would check folks in, keep order and make sure folks were lined up?
Also one more thing It would be wonderful to have an afternoon bus on Friday and Saturday that left from Lorton VRE.

Fine bus ride, but a few adjustments

Safe, smooth ride. However, we were on a new bus, so not all of the seats had been undone. A fellow passenger had to help me and several other women pull the seats into place. Also, because it was a new bus, the driver said there was no wi-fi, which isn't guaranteed, but I've never been on a Vamoose bus without it. Overall, fine ride, but I've had better with Vamoose. I'll continue to use in the future though.

Excellent service, very good drivers, usually a very smooth trip

I take Vamoose Gold approximately once a month from New York to Bethesda, Maryland, always on Sundays. This service is an excellent value for the service offered. The staff and drivers are courteous. The bus is always on time at departure with sometimes delays on arrival in Bethesda, but this happens very rarely. On the one occasion where the bathroom door was not closing properly causing a bathroom odor during the ride, I was offered a refund for the price which was unprompted by me (I was happily surprised as I did not expect this). Overall, I love Vamoose Gold bus.

Professional services and Care for customers

I strongly recommend the Vamoose Bus to my family and friends. The services are outstanding. Drivers and staff are friendly and helpful. The system is well organized and fairly. We have been commuting with Vamoose Bus from Bethesda to New York for more than five years.
Thank you all for the best services.

Bus ride

My 21 month old son and I had a great time riding the bus from Bethesda to nyc and back. Both buses were clean and the staff were very polite and helpful. It looks like that the bus departed from Bethesda has a more upgraded, and newer bathroom, which was a nice bonus when traveling with a toddler.

I only choose Vamoose when traveling from Dc to Nyc for it's reliable services and convenient Bethesda location.

Great service!

I took Vamoose bus nearly every weekend for two and a half years and have had a great experience. The bus drivers are courteous and safe drivers, often do not stop at rest stops making the trip super short, the bus is rarely if ever late, and the administrative staff are helpful and accommodating if you need to change your reservation last minute or have an issue. Of the hundreds of times I've taken this service, there were only about two times when the bus was significantly late and Vamoose gave us all free trip vouchers. Again, out of all the times I've taken the bus, the outlets were only not working one or two times. This bus is so much cleaner and professional than Megabus or Bolt Bus for practically the same price. DC to NY in four hours flat?! Can't beat it!!

Best bus service

I take a bus round trip between NYC and Virginia at least once a month, and Vamoose is definitely the best bus service I've taken. The bus is equipped with WiFi that isn't spotty and the trip takes exactly 4.5 hrs. If you're willing to shell out a few extra bucks for the Gold bus, you get extra leg room and a larger seat, as well as a complimentary bottle of water. The driver and other employees are all very friendly. I would definitely take this bus service again!

Reliable service

Always on time and offers rewards points for members. Always ride vamoose from NY-MD. However it can be a bit packed and hard to find seats for 2 if not early to get in line. Would be more convenient if there were more times available for the Bethesda stop.

Great Customer Service

A bus I was on lost its AC. They had a working bus meet us at the Delaware rest stop and for the inconvenience they gave us Vamoose Credit worth a free trip!

I arrived early for departure and asked if I could go on the earlier bus instead. No problem!

On time service

I rode round-trip from MD to NYC. Both legs were uneventful, pleasant rides, and most importantly, on time. My only gripe is that the power outlets in the last few rows didn't work on the return leg. Otherwise, the service and ride was on par with other DC-NYC bus rides.

Great safe smooth ride😃

Gold bus: Thanks for a nice, safe, smooth ride. I always look forward riding on the Gold Bus. The only problem is that it only goes to Arlington and only have a couple of schedules. So I have to be picked up and driven the rest of the way but otherwise no complaints.

Good trip to and from NYC

I rode Vamoose for the first time last week. I rode the ordinary bus up and the Gold back. Both trips went well. The personnel (bag loaders, drivers) were helpful and friendly. The loading process was efficient and on-time. The drop off point in Bethesda MD is easy to use and right by a big public parking lot if you need to stay with a friend of child who is getting the bus. The rides were smooth. The Gold is much nicer than the ordinary bus but the ordinary bus is just fine. Vamoose is an economical easy way to get between NYC and DC.
