Very good trip, just bit longer than I expected, yet comfortable seating for the time it took, and yes I will travel again on greyhound. Good value for the money

I was unable to take the trip to Sydney tried to cancel but was unsuccessful due to the very difficult cancellation process
Christine F.
I expected a VIP seating bus as is used for long journeys. Unfortunately, it was a normal 50 seater bus which was cramped and the seating space was restricted. Greyhound can do better for the future.
