Greyhound Charlotte Fort Lauderdale recent customer reviews

Very bad customer service. One of the bus drivers got angry when I asked for clarification on which bus was ours. This was my first and last experience with greyhound. On the Jacksonville bus stop the heater wasn’t even turned on! Everyone was freezing and shivering. Some passengers even had small children. The Staff seem disgruntled and simply didn’t care.
