Greyhound Washington Cleveland recent customer reviews

Well, this trip was everything bit smooth. We had people on board who had to join to our bus, because they were left at the station due to the previous bus never came. When I asked the driver two times about the waiting lines, he told me whitch one I should join, so I waited there. Turned out that I’m in the wrong line, and could get on board - and nobody told me that, just I was that curious to ask questions again. On the bus there was a massive weed smell (I’m a non smoker, so that was very disturbing), I thing someone used the wape on board. Also the seats, the bottom of the bus, and the windows were DISGUSTING (I’m not talking about dust, but white spots on my seat, dandruff at the head area, and some weird white spashing on the window). I felt very uncomfortable during the trip, even after I tried to disinfect everything around me. Not to mention that we had to get off from the bus, but could’nt stay outside in the fresh air, we had to go inside another building. So, that 10 hour trip was a disaster and a disappointment.

I wish the bus driver had less personality at 3 4 and 5 am,- really wanted to sleep

The buses were quite dirty and poorly maintained. While the staff was courteous, polite, and efficient, the buses themselves were of poor quality.
