Greyhound Nashville Louisville recent customer reviews

It was very difficult for everybody in the building to determine when to get in line and what line to get in to board. Even then, staff did not check effectively the tickets and people still got to the wrong bus. They wanted to use a loudspeaker for announcements and the speaker was distorted and hard to understand. An airport style monitor showing gates, boarding updates, etc would have prevented numerous problems and frustrations.
