Greyhound Washington Ithaca recent customer reviews

DON’T USE GREYHOUND!!! Worst service ever. I bought a ticket from DC to Ithaca with Greyhound. The trip included two transfers but because the first bus departed late from DC I lost the second bus and because of that I was forced to wait 6 hours in the middle of the night (from 11pm to 5:15 am), freezing in order to be able to take the next available bus from NY to Ithaca. I must also add that the greyhound staff at port authority was extremely rude, the yelled at me several times and never tried to help me. Horrible service.

Greyhound isn’t the issue. The “expired” ticket with no warning is.
