Greyhound Charlotte Florence recent customer reviews

The bus did not arrive in Charlotte it broke down the people at Greyhound sent me on the bus all the way to Raleigh when I was just going to Florence South Carolina in Raleigh they didn't even have a bus for me to go to Florence and they wanted to send me to Fayetteville North Carolina which would have took another 6 hours and then from Fayetteville to Florence it was the worst experience I ever had

The stuff inside the station in Charlotte was horrible...poor customer service. Columbia wasn't organized, I almost missed my bus. The guy helping with bags in Columbia had good customer service. All the bus drivers were wonderful. The restroom in Charlotte is a health hazard.
