Very rude staff from Cleveland on. Chicago staff ok. Bathroom door wouldn't open even halfway. Blocked by permanent structures in bus.

The most horrible service I have ever received I will never drive greyhound ever again I'd rather spend the extra money to rent a car or fly a plane. The staff was pushy rude and the facilities are very unsanitary disgusting locations and hubs. I am very disappointed at such a prominent company
