Greyhound Raleigh Philadelphia recent customer reviews

It was awful. All staff members were rude and disorganized. We left late, the bus from Raleigh to Richmond was overcrowded, old, smelly, and falling apart. The only seat left for me was under a duct-taped leak that continued to drip on me the entire time. From Richmond to Philadelphia it was much better.
