Greyhound Dayton Detroit recent customer reviews
The bus smelled as if the bathroom had not been cleaned in days, and as if the door was wide open and it was overflowing (it was not though). The smell was extremely strong and most people around me, in the second half of the bus, were covering their mouth/nose to mask the smell. A child in front of me even threw up, possibly because of the smell.
