      Hello, 

      I am sorry to hear this. 

      Order Number ******* is the ticket that is being referred too. This ticket was purchased through ******* which is a Third Party Website that sells Peter Pant tickets. ******* offers their own travel insurance plan to passengers who book through *******. This insurance plan is not through Peter Pan and we do not charge passengers for this as this is a ******* offer. 

      If a passenger purchases the insurance plan through ******* and they are not able to travel, they must contact the travel insurance company that ******* works with which is called *******. Unfortunately there is nothing further Peter Pan can do since we do not work for with that insurance company and Peter Pan Bus Lines offers their own protection. 

       

      Thank you!

      I do not accept the business response:
      because they have buses running at times where to get there would be by cabs or local buses. Cabs are not available so early and local buses are not reliable either. Also, non-refundable regulations should not be applied to minors' bank accounts because this is a way of ripping their funds away. A 17 year old is still a minor but according to Peter Pan, they are charged as adults.

      Business Response

      Date: 06/12/2025

      Hello, 

      All tickets are non refundable as disclosed during the ticket purchase. If the passenger missed the bus, they do need to purchase a new ticket. This is agreed to in the Terms and Conditions that were read and the tickets were purchased. 

      Peter Pan Bus Lines, is not responsible for how the passengers get to their bus and it is the passengers duty to find reliable transportation to get to their bus departure location in time. 

      At this time, Peter Pan Bus Lines cannot issue any compensation for this passenger missed bus as the Peter Pan Bus did run on time as scheduled.

      Hello, 

      This passenger did write into on 6/04/2025 stating this. A refund was denied as the passenger did not purchase the refundable fare. Peter Pan is not able to issue a refund as all tickets are non refundable as disclosed during the ticket purchase. 

      As we understand this is out of the passenger control, Covid has been around for more than a year and that is why we offer a refundable fare option. 

      The passenger was offered Peter Pan Perks account for future use. This credit will be valid for one year from the date applied, our standard reissue fee and transaction fees associated with your original purchase will be deducted from the cost of the ticket. Please note that this travel credit will not apply to any additional fees.

      Please see the screenshot of the reply we sent to the passenger with this offer. 

      Thank you!

      Complaint: 23351953

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for the response, but I believe Peter Pan is mischaracterizing the issue.

      I fully understand and accept that delays and breakdowns happen, and I did not dispute that. However, this was not simply a weather or mechanical delay beyond their control. The core issue is that I was personally directed by a Peter Pan employee at ******* in ******** to board the wrong bus one not going to ****** even after I confirmed my destination. He scanned my ticket to ******, said yes, and told me to board and sit anywhere.

      That error is not covered by the disclaimer they quoted. It was a staff mistake, not a weather or traffic issue. As a result of being sent to the wrong bus, I ended up delayed for hours and dropped off in **********, ** at 1:20 AM, not ****** my actual destination.

      At that hour, I had no safe or reasonable alternative, and I had to take a $64.99 Lyft just to get home. This was not a choice, it was a necessity due to being left stranded. I also had to purchase food due to the delay, another unplanned expense.

      Peter Pan has offered only a $20 credit, which is not an appropriate or fair resolution given the circumstances and the clear role their staff played in this problem. Their employees error directly led to my experience including the Lyft cost and I respectfully request reimbursement of that amount.

      Thank you for your continued attention to this matter.

      Sincerely,

      ******* *****

      . Despite this, Peter Pan has only offered me a $20 credit or partial fare compensation for WorcesterBoston, refusing to reimburse the Lyft or acknowledge the situation fully. They have since stopped responding to my emails.I am requesting a refund for the trip and reimbursement for the $64.99 Lyft. I have receipts available and am happy to provide further documentation. I believe this is fair considering the mistake began with Peter Pans own staff and left me in a difficult and unsafe position.Thank you.

      Hello, 

      In the Terms & Conditions that the passenger read and agreed when they made the ticket purchase does state "Departure dates and times are subject to change. Carrier is not responsible for delays in connections caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, breakdowns, equipment failure, accidents, and road, traffic or weather conditions. Departure times are approximate. We reserve the right to modify schedules for operations and DOT requirements. Carrier shall not be liable for, and expressly disclaims responsibility for, any loss, damage delay, or expense arising as a result of such condition." The passenger chose to take a Lyft, when a relief bus on it's way to pick up the passengers.

      The most that Peter can do is issue a credit of $20.00 into a Peter Pan Perks Account.

      Hello, 

      That bus did go to Boston. Bus 7047 arrived into Boston at 11:35pm as confirmed with Operations on 4/27/2025. There were a lot of passengers that were getting off in Boston as well. 

      We are sorry but we cannot issue any compensation for the **** as that bus did make it to Boston.

      Please see the attachment of the bus GPS.

      Complaint: 23351953

      Thank you for the update, but I respectfully disagree with Peter Pans position.

      They claim Bus 7047 arrived in ****** at 11:35 PM, but I was not on that bus when it arrived in ******. I was personally directed by a Peter Pan employee at ******* in ******** to board a bus, he scanned my Boston ticket, and I followed his instructions. That bus experienced a breakdown, a long delay, and finally dropped me off in **********, MA not ****** at 1:20 AM, long after their reported 11:35 PM arrival.

      When I spoke to the driver at the end of the trip and showed him my ticket, he told me directly:
      Im not going to ******. Use ***** Thats not my problem.

      At that point, I had no choice but to pay $64.99 for a Lyft home. I was 50+ minutes away from my destination at 1:30 AM, alone, tired, and had to work early the next day.

      The company is now focusing on where the bus went instead of where I was taken and dropped off, which feels dismissive of the actual customer experience. This was not a case of misunderstanding a schedule it was a failure in passenger handling, and I have consistently explained this.

      I am simply asking for reimbursement for the Lyft that became necessary due to staff misdirection and lack of assistance at the end of the trip.

      Thank you for your time and for reviewing this fairly.

      Sincerely,

      ******* *****

      Date: 06/01/2025

      We are very sorry for the delay in reaching your destination.

      Unfortunately there are certain conditions that are beyond our control such as weather, traffic, and accidents. And even though our drivers are experts at finding alternative routes, sometimes its not possible to get to the destination without delays.

      Please be aware that per the terms & conditions that was read and agreed to does state: Departure dates and times are subject to change. The carrier is not responsible for delays & connections caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, breakdowns, equipment failure, accidents, and road, traffic, or weather conditions.

      While the ticket was agreed as non-refundable and the trip was taken, unfortunately, at this time we would be unable to warrant any compensation at this point in time.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      There is so much wrong with it.

      "********* dates and times are subject to change. Carrier is not responsible for delays in connections caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, breakdowns, equipment failure, accidents, and road, traffic or weather conditions. ********* times are approximate.

      There were no delays beyond the carrier reasonable control. This is abjectly false. There were no DOT requirements at play. Moreover, there were no senior passengers or passengers with a disability slowing boarding. It was failure on the part of Peter Pan boarding many passengers who were MEANT to go to ************

      Next, I chose Peter Pan bus because it promised outlets, whereas not all buses do. If the outlets do not work, this constitutes false advertising. 

      I would like a full refund on account of the false advertising, or I will be forced to pursue legal action in Small Claims Court.

The only outcome I will accept is a full refund - as a customer for 8 years, this will be my last experience. As ******* operates through Peter Pan now, I am unsure of which business to file this complaint under and therefore will be contacting both.

      Hello, 

      As for Peter Pan we would like to apologies for the experience this passenger had when trying to travel back home for the Holidays.  

      It does look like the bus departed at 9:07am from bus 901. It was a full bus and passengers were all lifted between 8:46am -9:01am.

      As all Peter Pan tickets are non refundable, we can offer a credit for the ticket purchase into a Peter Pan account for future travels. 

      If the passenger does not want the credit, Peter Pan cannot issue a refund as the passenger did not purchase the ticket on the Peter Pan website.The passenger must reach out to ******* since the passenger booked through ******* and ******* has the passengers transaction information. 

      Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because: if I would  have gotten  a follow up email I would have see that the insurance did not go through. I clicked the box were it said would you like to insurance this travel for $9.00. Maybe you guys had a firewall issue because  I do tech work and that seems that may have been the issue on your end were it my insurance  agreement didn't go through. 

      Sincerely,

      **** ******* possibly get a refund if the event is canceled due to weather conditions. I sent the proof to the person I was talking to through email. I am very disappointed with Peter pan they were not helpful. They put money over a human life. They rather see a person freeze in dangerous freezing conditions then to give a refund. This is very sad that we live a life that profits over life. all about money then the safety of their customers. How heartless can Peter pan get. very sad.

      Hello, 

      I looked into this and the passenger did purchase a ticket order ******* but the passenger did not purchase any insurance. I am attaching the Payment Summary of what the passenger had purchase and you can see that the travel insurance or the refundable fare was not purchased. 

      As the refundable fare/travel insurance were not purchased, all tickets are non refundable as it is disclosed during the ticket purchase when the passenger read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions. 

      Since we do not issue a refund, the passenger was given an option to change their ticket to a different trip itinerary with the reissue cost applied plus any difference before the departure time.

      Hello, 

      Since the travel insurance were not purchased, we would not be able to issue any compensation. This order was purchased knowing the amount that was being paid and the passenger had a full summary of what they are paying before completing the purchase which shows the travel insurance not added. 

      At this time, we are not able to issue any compensation as the passenger was given an option to change the ticket.

If I have had a full summary sent to me through  my email would have known the insurance never went through. I checked my email and junk email and never gotten  a follow up email. It seems like there was a glitch somewhere in your system because  I know I click were it said would I like to insure this travel plus how would I know the price of the insured price if I never put it through. It was $9 dollars to insure my travel you think I just put that figure out of my head. Common sense.

      Sincerely,

      **** *******

      Complaint: 2*******

      I am rejecting this response for all the reasons already given. I have no earthly reason to make any of this up as I've been a loyal Peter Pan customer for almost 20 years. Either the driver stopped at a different point (who would know? it's absolute chaos outside that terminal) or they didn't stop at all.

      I don't know what else to tell you except that Peter Pan is *quite obviously* not giving customers sufficient time to locate the bus in a busy terminal when every other bus company is hogging the sidewalk. I was literally 10 yards from the pickup point with my eyes searching for a GIANT GREEN BUS.

      Sincerely,

      ***** *******t no later than 3:15.This is my reservation confirmation :DEPART Tue Feb 04 03:30 PM ****** (******************)

      Hello, 

      I looked into this further and checked our bus GPS records and that bus did not depart out of ****** ***** early. Please see below of when the bus arrived and departed each Terminal. 

      All passengers must be outside of the Terminal for the driver so the driver knows that there are Peter Pan passengers as the driver cannot be stopped at a Terminal for long due to ** ***. 

      It does state that when they see a Peter Pan bus to waive the driver down. 

      A refund was denied as the driver was at ****** ***** as scheduled.

      Hello, 

      If passengers were waiting inside the terminal, the driver does not go inside to get passengers. ALL passengers must be waiting outside the Terminal at the stop as it does indicate that.

      Again, I was literally less than 10 yards away from the *normal* bus pickup point at ******** E.

      What is even more concerning to me is Peter Pan's evident disinterest/non-concern in learning how a longtime customer who is familiar with how this bus company operates at ****** *****"missed" seeing a ******** ***** bus while waiting from ~3:15 until 3:55 between 0 and 10 yards away from the pickup point. Not once have you signaled any interest in understanding how that happened in order to prevent it in the future.

      Evidently you think I must have gone to the bathroom, or was on my phone, or was enjoying a beer in the bar...

      So believe whatever you want you got my money, didn't you.

      Better Business Bureau:

      Re: complaint ID ********

      The gesture is fair but it's been evident to me during this exchange that the business is not concerned with the causes behind this nor how to mitigate them in the future.

      While it may not be the fault of the bus company that the *** imposes restrictions on arrival/pickup at airport terminals, it isn't the customer's fault either. If a longtime customer, familiar with the schedule, terminal and pickup point, can so easily miss seeing the bus, then there's a problem with the business model, period.

      I suggest that Peter Pan management and operations spend a concerted few days studying the conditions outside that Terminal to see for themselves just how chaotic and disorganized that area is at peak hours with several bus companies operating there. Then perhaps it wouldn't be such a surprise that a customer could be left stranded and wondering how on earth a 30,000lb bus came and went without them seeing it.

      Sincerely,
