I will never pay for a trip with greyhound ever and would never recommend it to NO one

All staff was very polite and professional, and the delay was more than acceptable. Unfortunately I had to work on my laptop during the trip, though the absence of tray tables and the totally unuseful wifi connection (for which I paid) prevented me from doing so.
