Greyhound Boston Wilmington recent customer reviews

Bus from Boston to Wilmington with a stop at nyc. Bus to nyc was late by 1.5 hr, missed my transfer to Wilmington so I had to change my bus to go to Philly instead. They told me to go to Wilmington I’d have to change another bus and arrive the next day at 9am. First and last time I’ll ever take greyhound.

They need to follow up the connecting busses today I had a terrible journey with greyhound

The greyhound driver mr reed that drove from NYC port authority 7am bus to Pennsylvania was very nasty and rude to me and other customers. I had a 4 hour layover at the port authority and to get on this man bus after he was rude was a very bad look for greyhound company. I told him I was filing a formal complaint and he said he doesn't care. When we got to Philadelphia he had the audacity to stick his middle finger up to me. I've never experienced this type of behavior and I will make sure I complain to greyhound about this.
