Greyhound Lines, Inc. Raleigh Atlanta recent customer reviews

The whole bus was stinking and none of the charging ports were working. Even the wifi was out. And the bus delayed our further journeys by over an hour. There was barely anything enjoyable pf the entire journey. It was rather harrowing and irritable.

Extremely rude staff. I was cursed at multiple times by Greyhound workers, and disrespected entirely. I recentlywas released to the hospital and made these travel arrangements to see my daughter for her 2nd birthday. A large portion of my trip was cut short due to slack staff.
