Greyhound Santa Ana Los Angeles recent customer reviews

I was charged twice for the same fair. The bus station was empty and driver nowhere to be seen when i arrived. I had to compare tickets with others to make sure I was boarding the right bus. Then I step on-board and it smells like sewage. I had to double my mask and keep a safe distance away from the back of the bus. LA station was dirty.
