What happens if my bus or train is delayed?

Asked 5 months ago
If your bus or train is delayed while using Wanderu to plan your travel, there are several possible outcomes and steps you can take. Generally, the specific policies regarding delays will depend on the carrier you are traveling with, as each may have their own set of guidelines. In most cases, if your scheduled bus or train is delayed, the carrier will provide updates regarding the delay through their usual communication methods, which may include announcements at the station or via notifications if you have signed up for them. It is important to keep an eye on the schedule board and any updates from the staff. If the delay is significant, many carriers may offer options such as rebooking your ticket for a later departure or, in some cases, providing compensation for your inconvenience. However, policies vary widely depending on the carrier and the nature of the delay. Before your trip, it may be beneficial to check the specific policies of the transportation provider for your journey. You can find this information by visiting the relevant section on Wanderu’s website or by looking at the provider's official site. Being informed can help you better navigate any delays that may occur.
