A bit crowded, the driver initially said there's no space for the baggage, but it turned out to be the opposite case.

Zsombor B.

25 August 2023

They cancelled my 9am bus with no warning to me. I rescheduled myself to a new trip. On that trip my connection was delayed over an hour. The best part of the trip was the bus wasn’t crowded because other people know better than to trust greyhound.

Anissa A.

Very disappointed, the bus kept making some loud sound. I could not rest. The bus charger plugs did not work. The light above the seat did not work at well. It was dirty on the floor.
