Hello, I apologize for your experience while in New York. Due to the holiday week, we did experience delays with increased traffic in the city. We tried our best to plan ahead and added extra buses to our routes to decrease wait times. We are very sorry if your wait was longer than usual and understand the frustration this may have caused. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us so we can improve our operation.

The bus itself is wonderful and the stories are relevant and interesting. BIG Disappointment was that I purchased the uptown and downtown. We got on the downtown the minute it opened because uptown didn’t open until 1130. We got in front of the Metropolitan Museum at 2 PM and apparently we missed the last bus. Serious? There’s nothing that describes win the last bus comes it just says that They stop running at 4 PM. They should definitely list a last stop time somewhere. Other than that everything was great and the Statue of Liberty ticket was perfect and easy
