Users generally appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the clean buses with functional restrooms. However, some reviews mention that buses occasionally leave late due to efforts to fill seats or side deals allowing extra passengers. Additionally, there are reports of noisy rides from older buses and non-functional outlets needing attention.

Overall experience was nice until when the bus arrived to the station. The driver did not make any announcements nor open the door so I almost missed my stop! I would have to stay on for another 2 hours until the next stop in DC!

According to customer reviews, there have been several negative experiences with the bus service. Customers complain about broken seats that rock with every movement of the bus. Additionally, there are reports of delays up to three hours and poor communication from staff. The most concerning issue mentioned is the condition of the toilet, which was described as disgusting and smelly due to not being cleaned before trips. These problems have led some customers to recommend booking with another company instead.
Greyhound Lines, Inc. New York City Baltimore recent customer reviews
The staff failed to make any announcement about the 2:45 AM departure, and misled passengers by referring only to a delayed 1:05 AM bus.
I was at the correct gate the entire time. There were no updates, no signage, and no effort to inform us.
Later, the staff falsely claimed I “didn’t listen,” which is not only inaccurate, but also deeply unprofessional.
As someone for whom English is a second language, this type of behavior can be interpreted as discriminatory and unjust.
Requested refund but they repeating it's not refundable ticket.

The bus ride was in the designated time more or less but it is winter time and it was freezing. The driver had heat in his area but the rest of the bus was freezing. I walked up to him and explained that people were complaining and I was personally cold as well and he ignored me. We were cold 28 degree weather for 3 and a half hours from NYC to Baltimore. We just froze but he had good heat.

The bus was kinda dingy, every other air conditioning vent was broken, no wifi or outlets, and everyone was making video calls or listening to music without headphones while eating 😅 I should've just splurged on Amtrak when I take the lost productivity/sleep time into account...

It might be a better experience to drop off passengers in a safer area of Baltimore, e.g. A train station. It felt as if we were dropped off in the middle of nowhere.
