Greyhound Dayton Columbus recent customer reviews

Driver was rude and unprofessional. He toooo his time and I mean an extra amount of unnecessary time sitting on the bus while we stool in the cold at 630 freezing just to get tickets checked to get on bus. He didn’t apologize.. he drove slow. Took his time letting us off the bus.. and stopped twice. Worst experience ever
