Greyhound Lines, Inc. Albany Richmond recent customer reviews

The bathroom smelled horrible and the passengers were acting ignorant cussing and complaining about the seating and smell of the restroom. The driver threatened to get physical with the ignorant passengers after they became disrespectful threatening other passengers. I was satisfied by how the drivers took control of the situation.
