Wanderu, the bus and rail travel booking platform, has announced the winners and recipients of this year's Wanderu Passengers' Choice Awards for excellence in ground transportation. It is awarded to both bus and rail carriers that have provided outstanding traveler service over the past year. The awards are divided into categories and are awarded based on user feedback left on the platform.
