Greyhound Boston New Orleans recent customer reviews

I was supposed to be in New Orleans at 8a.m. this morning. Buses were late several times, I'm still in Atlanta, and won't be in New Orleans till 9pm tonight. Lost a whole day of a vacation that I'll never get to take again. I'm not very happy to say the least.
