The departure times were right on. The bus was comfortable and clean, including the bathroom. The electrical outlets helped out a lot with cell phone life. The drivers were very capable.

Greyhound Washington Hartford recent customer reviews

The bus drive itself was average however the layover was horrible my husband and 84 year old mother had to wait for 4 hours. With no explanation on why the bus was late. We ask several greyhound bus attendants what time they think it would arrive and one of the attendants was very nasty. There were no organizations when the bus finally arrived. Greyhound will be my last resort when booking a trip.
