The bus arrived 20 min. late. Driver says due to unforeseen maintenance. Then there was freeway maintenance. With a result of both, we arrived an hour late.

The driver was genuinely friendly and funny. Some of the seats were disgusting - vomit was involved. I know greyhound runs on slim margins but pls ask someone to resolved that.

It was horrible i have to small children and ended up waiting in the greyhound for 7 hrs my two boys were crying exsausted. You guys should have a private area for the people who have to wait for so long with games and soft couches for people.
