Greyhound Wilmington Washington recent customer reviews

I was very disappointed with my experience and the customer service. My bus made it to Raleigh and then I was never notified that my bus to DC was 5 hours late which I did not have time for. Not only were the staff at the bus station not helpful at all and rude but greyhound never emailed or contacted me to let me know my bus wasn’t coming until five hours after scheduled
