Greyhound Lafayette Columbus recent customer reviews

My Greyhound bus was late my whole trip. The staff had very nonchalant attitudes. My bus to Columbus was delayed 3 hours. That is terrible. The bathrooms at the station were disgusting and dirty. The staff were yelling at riders very un professional.
