I don’t like greyhound. They’re the only bus service on the west coast and maybe they lack funding but they’re out of date, they have an overworked staff, and a very unhygienic and unsafe environment. I would never recommend this service.

The greyhound bus was a great service to me the bus was comfortable enough and the driver from Sacramento to Reno was a very sweet man and was a great driver. I’ll definitely be booking my bus rides through greyhound again!
