Greyhound El Monte San Francisco recent customer reviews
the bus from LA should be leaving at 10am, however the bus only came about 10.20am and the driver was not rushing to ask passangers to onboard instead, but took his own sweet time to chit chat with other people on bus which I think this is inappropriate.
