Greyhound Richmond Philadelphia recent customer reviews

The overall travel experience was great. The late departure did not bother me because I was not pressed ford time. I did however leave my baby's bag on the top of bus w/o a tag but was the last person to get off. I called as soon as I noticed & talked to someone who told me they couldn't confirm anything until 5:30am. I called Greyhound & was directed to call the station in Philadelphia in which they said they didn't find anything & took my number just in case it showed up. She even called the bus lot for me which was very helpful. I will definitely travel Greyhound again.
