Very comfortable its my first time to take the bus.. So many stops Im aware but the 20 minutes stop over in Beaumont was long.. maybe because I did not get off the bus. But I will ride again..

I was very disappointed I had just got out the hospital, and was in grave pain. Not only was I an hour early, the bus never came. I had a flight that I missed due to the mishap with the bus and Greyhound didn’t feel I should be accommodated in the least for their problem
