Trip was fine. Bus was clean and in reasonable shape. I ride Greyhound 2 or 3 times a year. Usually my experience is good. About what I expect. Have not had a bad experience.

V. crowded bus. Passenger next to me was extremely large, so no room at all. Passenger in front of me jerked his seat back into my face; controls on seat position should be smoother &/or written alerts should be placed on seats in front of passengers warning them to be courteous to the passengers behind.

Terrible. The bus was late. Then never showed. Got rescheduled and that bus was also late. No communication from staff and they always seemed in a bad mood. Made it home 7 hours late
