Greyhound Chicago Los Angeles recent customer reviews

All the greyhound staff and drivers were very friendly and professional throughout the trip. My only bad experience occurred during the Las Vegas to Los Angeles leg of the trip. Jammed bus to capacity with homeless people who coughed continuously throughout the trip.
