I didn't enjoy the experience the bus caught a flat, had to wait 5 hours for the relief driver then the radiator busted on the bus I was supposed to get to my destination at 8:40am and I wasn't able to arrive until 8pm I missed my event I had planned and Greyhound doesn't want to reimburse me for my trouble

There is no WiFi on bus and I didn’t got my luggage at my destination. Someone they took out on Nashville but my final destination was Chicago.

Ibrahim M.

31 December 2019

Extremely poor experience. Bus left early in Nashville. Staff was extraordinarily unprofessional, from the front desk operator to the “managers”. Next bus was 4 hours late. Very non chalant attitude in general toward people’s time, money spent, and needs. No urgency or empathy. Would avoid Greyhound in the future by all costs.
