Greyhound San Francisco Vancouver recent customer reviews

Well. One of the write trip I have ever had. Although it was supposed be one transfer, i Had 4 busses to ride. All of them started late and the last from Seattle to Vancuver with 2 hour delay. All in all we reached Vancuver with 3.5 hrs off schedule. The bus that was behind the schedule overpassed us ultimately.

Buses were too cold, though it is good they are air conditioned I was freezing at some points and the driver said he couldn't change the temp or it'd get too hot
