Greyhound Louisville Chicago recent customer reviews
The bus was 30 minutes late, there were too many people on board, leaving a couple to stand. Then the driver had to slam on his brakes and I don’t know how the standing people didn’t get thrown up front.
At one point the driver was getting on the interstate going the wrong way, until people started yelling at him. Absolutely not the best ride.
