Greyhound Providence Washington recent customer reviews

I was on bus 2917 from New York traveling to Washington D.C bus was super late and the A/C was on high the entire time although it was very cold and the heat should of been on. It was very uncomfortable and freezing on the bus. Driver got us there as fast as should could but the temperature was very intolerable on the bus trip up there.

Poor information dissemination. I was told to pick up my tickets at the bus station but no staff to attend to customers. At the end I missed my bus.
