Greyhound Australia Noosa Airlie Beach recent customer reviews
There are several points that should be taken in account to improve the trip. First, when I arrived on the bus, I felt an unpleasant smell which stayed during the whole ride and I wasn’t the only one who smelled it. I’m not sure if it was because of the bathroom in the back or just the fact that the bus wasn’t clean enough. So the personal should give a particular attention to this. Second, unfortunately, it was raining during the major part of the ride and the water seeped into the place where carry-on were (over our head in cabins) and even fell on some people’s head (including mine), so we had to change seat. The bus should therefore be better insulated. Last, the bus stopped every 1-2h or so between 18h and 2h30AM. I think that when the driver’s shift was over at 2h30AM and another one came to replace him, they shouldn’t leave all the lights on in the bus during 30 minutes like they did. They lacked consideration for us considering the fact that we were sleeping during that time. It’s enough that it is hard to sleep on the bus, now we have to wake up every hour for sometimes nothing that concerns us.
