Greyhound Los Angeles Santa Ana recent customer reviews

Our way there was horrible, the bus driver was inexperienced and did not have the directions to get to our destination. We missed our event because the driver was over two hours late in getting to our destination. We were not even able to get on the bus back since the bus never came.
