Greyhound Scranton Rochester recent customer reviews

Horrible. But arrived 12, overbooked and 20 people could not get on. Called greyhound, put on hold 20 minutes and it hangs up (twice). Told another bus would arrive in 2 hours, after 3 they said it never left. Told a bus was coming but 530 guarantees. At 6pm we were told a Bus was coming but not going our way! Had NO RIDE, very unhappy and will be complaining. Called greyhound 7 times, hold 20 minutes and auto hangup.
