The trip was too long and the driver putting his bags next to my seat and that wasn’t comfortable and nice
They drivers don't care about the passangers bags. I got my bag broken , after paying so much money and when i complain about it to the driver they just told me they don't know. Poor service.
It was quick and safe but the bus had too many drop off points and was too hot when it was not moving.

Despite these concerns being mentioned in multiple reviews, it's important to note that there are positive opinions about the bus condition and comfort during the trip.
I was not happy with the arrival time, we arrived almost two hours late. It was too dark outside and I feared for my safety.
Check in and finding the right bus was very unclear and we almost missed the bus. No AC so the bus was super hot. We arrived 1.5 hr late.
This marks the second bad experience I have had with the company and my life is always at risk due to their lack of communication and punctuality. I will never recommend Greyhound not to even a cat
