Greyhound Jackson Chicago recent customer reviews

No social distancing on the bus because all the seats were sold. I hold the company responsible for this total disregard for the health of passengers and the driver. I am fearfully concerned with my own health status as a result of being trapped with over 55 persons without social distancing!

It was the most horrific god awful experience dealing with greyhound. If it weren't for the good people on the bus.. I would have been left stranded with no bags on the wrong bus. No working outlets, stunk, no air. Horrible people working.
