      I was involved in a traffic accident on a megabus traveling from ************* to ************ on 6/22. I have called and called these people for information with no response. I was able to finally track down the police report. I spoke with a gentleman from Megabus last Tuesday who offered me my fair back but we were disconnected. I called back and got someone else who stated they weren't doing anything. Here's the report number for the accident you all can't seem to find. PA2023-826846
