Greyhound Buffalo Cortland recent customer reviews

The bus was great until we got to Syracuse. The drivers switched and turned a 15 minute stop to over an hour. The new driver was terrible and impeded traffic multiple times along the trip, he also put a nice scratch on the bus with a caution sign.
