Greyhound Rochester Worcester recent customer reviews

The drivers are great and the price was right, but the fact that many of their stops are curbside - with no place to seek shelter - is upsetting to say the least. This is my second trip with Greyhound and both times buses were late, the ‘conveniences’ were not as described, and the starting locations were sketchy places.
