Greyhound Baltimore Charleston recent customer reviews

I never recommend Greyhound to anyone. Bus driver dropped us at Morgan Town Station two hours late and there was no connecting bus towards Charleston. After several communication a bus picked us after waiting for 6 hours in the Morgan Town Station. Bus dropped us at 4:00 AM on following day (planned arrival was at 9:10 PM). Total 7 hours delay with no sleep and tension. Without arrange anything bus dropped us at Charleston in the odd time. Extremely bad experience
