Greyhound Albany Springfield recent customer reviews

Bus broke down 30 minutes out of Albany. We sat on side of US 20 for4 hours waiting on a rescue bus from albany. The driver of the bus, Danielle, did an excellent job with trying to restart bus and dealing with passengers, etc. Rescue bus got lost trying to find us. Very disappointing service and response by Greyhound.
