Greyhound Boston Newark recent customer reviews

Wasn't fair at all. Price was too high and customers service was very poor because i spent an entire afternoon on one way leaving sout station, boston, where I was supposed to arrive at 7: 30 pm, at new york to depart at around 9 newjersey. That was really bad service to customers and i dont think i will take greyhoud any more

Overall very good but the outlets for phone charging were broken on BOTH busses.

There was too much delay without anyone addressing us. The rating here is just because we were later told it was because of a disabled person. Otherwise, it would have been 1 star. We left 50 minutes behind schedule. Also, rain water was dropping on my wife from the roof. It started about 20 minutes to the end of the journey. I later complained to the driver when we arrived NY. Due to the delay, we did not use the 2nd leg of the ticket to Newark as we disembarked at Ports Authority, NY.
