Greyhound Lines, Inc. Harrisburg Washington recent customer reviews

Experience was bad, I said ‘excuse me’ to ask a question to the driver and he simply yelled at me and his aggressiveness. I didn’t expect much from lower class people, but I was expecting a normal conversation atleast. The bus was smelly, would not use Greyhound again.

Always late with no proper communication to passengers and wifi was not too good but at least better than past experiences. They should learn to stick to time, to avoid always disrupting my plans.😣
