The bus ticket cost $47 and I was charged twice when ordering through Wanderu. The waiting area in Washington, DC is in an Exxon gas station parking lot on the busy corner of New York Avenue and Bladensburg Road NE, no shelter from rain or gas station air. The 6am bus arrived more than an hour late, at 7:12am, even though Wanda Bus requires people to arrive 30 minutes before the "scheduled" departure. However, when the bus finally did arrive, the driver of the bus didn't even know what time he was supposed to be there. No concept of the bus schedule. While I was waiting for the bus, I called the "24 hour" customer service line only to get passed on to voicemail twice. When I finally spoke to someone, they told me "the bus isn't always on time" and they hung up. The bus interior was filthy, smelled of urine, marijuana, and old cooking oil. Empty alcohol containers littered the floor and most people on the bus were sleeping and sprawled across two or more seats, others were vaping or smoking weed, or watching videos on their phones at high volume. I cannot stress how terrible this bus experience was - do not repeat the mistake I made by using Wanda Bus. This company should be shut down.
