Greyhound Chicago Allentown recent customer reviews

The bus driver from Cleveland OH to Phila PA, JEROME, must've been drunk. Either he was drunk or just a very wreckless driver! He swerved the entire drive, almost resulting in several collisions. I felt very uneasy with my children on the bus while he drove.
