Greyhound Los Angeles Oceanside recent customer reviews

My first time taking Grayhound from Union Station—-this occurred following a 15 hour flight from Israel and as an alternative to taking a costlier means of transportation. I give Grayhound a two thumbs up for a smooth ride that got me where I needed to go with little expense on my part. Friendly and clean, I would definitely choose Grayhound again.
