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

Va to NY Trip

Always a clean, quiet bus. Professional, polite drivers. Attentive baggage handlers. Most importantly, always on time departure. Arrival times will vary sometimes...but that is due to traffic and not to anything Vamoose can control. Used Vamoose for half a dozen trips and counting and see no need to take another bus line.

For Price and Quality, You Cannot Beat Vamoose!

I've traveled from DC/MD/VA to NYC dozens of times. No other company gives you the quality of service and reliability like Vamoose does.
Great people to help with your bags, free water before you board, and even a magazine at times to read on your travels. Excellent A+ service!

Chief Concierge

I have consistently experienced my travels with Vamoose and Vamoose 'Gold' Bus service from Rosslyn, VA to NYC excellent, particularly on Vamoose 'Gold' with the first-class leather seats configuration of 2-1 seating.
The one-seater located on the starboard side (right) of the bus is ideal for single travellers!
Very clean on-board accomodations.
Excellent, courteous, knowledgeable safe drivers, ... what more can you ask for?
I highly recommend Vamoose and 'Gold' Bus service!

Outstanding service! Clean bus, timely, safe trip.

Overall outstanding experience. The booking online is very fast and easy. The bus was right on time, it was clean and well maintained, the driver was courteous and safe. Both the trip from DC to NYC and back went very well. I would highly recommend Vamoose to anybody.

Peaceful and relaxing

I feel very safe drivers seem to be very experienced and relaxed. They don't seem to feel that they have to overtake any cars on the road. Passengers are of a good caliber.

VAMOOSE

I have been traveling with VAMOOSE for a while now and I enjoy the service, comfort, promptness and great prices they offer. All my trips up to NYC have been pleasant except the one I took in March 2015. There was an incident where a passenger brought liquor on the bus and became aggressive and belligerent with the passenger behind him. I wrote to VAMOOSE and no one ever bother to reply to my complaint or at least acknowledge me.

I have no doubt on how I'm going to take my next New York drive :)

The trip was fine except for a traffic altercation entering the Lincoln tunnel.

Leaving NYC at 7pm on Wed. May 13th, the bus driver was busy talking (on the phone or another passenger?) when our bus and a box truck were vying for space on the road as we were entering the tunnel. After the laying on of horns by both vehicles, the box truck sideswiped the mirror of the bus and sped off. A police officer appeared immediately and notes were taken and we were on our way after 15 minutes. Why did the bus driver have to decide to be first (although he did have the right-of-way) when an obnoxious truck driver thought the same thing and could have put the bus in danger? Especially a day after the Amtrak accident!

It was OK

Have they squeezed more seats on the bus? It seemed more cramped than the last time I went.
I could not get the wifi to work with my iPad, and I used it on a previous trip.

It was an OK trip because of the price.

Great

In general, I have had a good experience with your service and find it reliable. The only comment and/or observation is that it would be good to have a bus stop where passengers waiting to board the bus could sit down instead of being on our feet, which is very tiring.

Fast trips, great customer service both on the phone & in person

The buses are always clean and (traffic permitting) arrive on time to location. They are organized and polite when boarding/on the bus. The phone customer service people are exceptionally nice and helpful with questions. If only they were a tad cheaper ($80 round trip can be a bit pricey!)
