One of the better trips I have taken on Greyhound. Driver was professional and very responsive to passengers getting on.

it'd be better if the buses are thoroughly cleaned more often - i brought my own sanitary wipes to clean the seats

They probably cancelled our bus because there were too few passengers to put us on the next one but they made us wait in the cold standing pretending it was just late. 4h delay in the end!
