Greyhound Washington Houston recent customer reviews

I didn't know that Greyhound had special seating for disabled passengers. I didn't know because the first driver didn't do priority boarding. The second driver did, and that's when I learned I could have a seat that was much less painful on my legs. But the next driver on my long journey didn't allow for that nonsense, and I was once again in a seat that left my legs in agony for the next 13 hours. The second bus, the one with the driver who did priority seating for elderly and disabled passengers, was over two hours late. The next driver made up for that by skipping stops and shortening rest stops. The shorter stops were unpleasant, because the restroom was locked on the bus, so we could only use it at the rest stops. I guess it was fitting that the bus smelled like cat urine.
