Greyhound Dayton Nashville recent customer reviews

I chose to pick up my ticket at the Greyhound office when purchased - it said it would be emailed to me within 15mins of purchasing. It didn't come through until 4.5 hours later (after I'd actually boarded the bus). Luckily I had taken a photo of my confirmation number when purchased otherwise the ticket office might not have accepted just my name.
