Greyhound Australia Darwin Katherine recent customer reviews
Seats should be filled one at a time unless the booking is for 2 people. I was placed next to a very large individual which reduced comfort, but there was two empty seats together on the bus. A man jumped into it even though it clearly said it was not permitted to seat swap. The passenger I was next to was lovely, but we both would have been more comfortable if we were not squished together!
