I was very upset that the bus driver decided to not let me on the bus when he did leave it. He was very rude and didn’t even care. I will never recommend greyhound bus from Richmond. Very rude bus driver

I was traveling with luggage and from what I read l had planned to check my large bag. That wasn't available. Struggled with the bags getting on and off. At 83 that was not pleasant.
