Greyhound Kansas City Columbia recent customer reviews
I realize weather affects travel, but zigzagging up and down to avoid possible weather was time consuming. And our driver spent the entire trip drumming on his dashboard. Very annoying. At one point the emergency hatch blew open and he didn’t care at all about closing it. Another passenger had to.
Jon P.
The bus driver from KC to Columbia was very rude and not informative. The air was not working on the bus.

It was an okay ride, though no social distancing
