Greyhound Memphis Knoxville recent customer reviews
Your service was terrible after making it to Nashville on time for a 30 minute layover to then be waiting for 9 hours due to no driver - will never be using greyhound again!
Silvana S.
Traveling with Greyhound was disappointing. Two staff members were exceptional, most were average, and a few were somewhat subpar. Neither of the busses had working WiFi, despite the promise of access to WiFi. Also, the first bus had no power from the outlets at its seat. The second bus’ seat didn’t recline.
Katherine K.
Very smooth ride from Memphis to Nashville and from Nashville to Knoxville. Put me right to sleep with how smooth it was.
