The back of the bus was very hot, and the bad smell of the bathroom was very unpleasant. Even though the ride was not comfortable overall, the driver was great! He was very nice and very attentive.

The air conditioning system on the bus failed during the 2 hour trip. The bus ride felt like a lengthy sauna session.
According to customer reviews, the bus service had several issues such as a terrible smell on the bus due to the bathroom and overbooking that resulted in some passengers being unable to ride. However, it is worth mentioning that customers appreciated that the buses were on time. Overall, there were mixed opinions about their first experience with this company.
Greyhound Lines, Inc. Gainesville Orlando recent customer reviews
The bus was mostly empty still we were forced to keep assigned seating. I sat beside someone who smelt like urine. Barely any ventilation. Just an overall not great experience. Leg room was nonexistent too.

The only thing I enjoy was that the bus was on time, leaving in arriving to the final destination. Everything else was terrible.
