Greyhound Philadelphia Dayton recent customer reviews

I missed my connecting bus (due to the fact that they didn't announce over the loud speaker). I called ahead to make sure my luggage would be at my final stop waiting for me and they told me it was there. Once I finally arrived in Dayton (at 3pm) my luggage was no where to be found! It's now 6pm and I still don't have any of my stuff. I will NEVER travel with greyhound again!!
