Greyhound Birmingham Washington recent customer reviews

Every stop was a delay. There were delays at every station. The driver we had from Nashville to Richmond was the best. She went above and beyond to make sure we ate and tried to make up some of the lost time. I was to arrive in DC at 8pm. I got her at almost midnight
