Greyhound Houston New York City recent customer reviews

Busses where untidy,the bathrooms smelled putrid with urine, and an hr and a half late to destination but nonetheless made it safely. Also Wi-Fi equipped busses didn't have enough outlets also Wi-Fi would cut itself off.

He and the others are stuck in Houston due to Imelda and has not returned to New York.

September 21, 2019

This would require a very long response, which I don't have time for at the moment. Let me just say that the driver gave us a speech in which all I could catch from the back of the bus was "... the way I drive ..." and "... don't try me ...". He proceeded to drive in a grossly unsafe speed - for example through long construction zones which seemed to have speed bumps encounter at a rate of about one per second. I WILL ABSOLUTELY NEVER USE YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. It would be better to walk.
