Greyhound Philadelphia Harrisburg recent customer reviews

I was disappointed by my ride on this pretty full bus. My armrest was broken and seat generally uncomfortable. The air was stale and unpleasant with multiple food wrappers and plates around. Given the long ride with continuous riders, there must be little opportunity to freshen the bus up.

The bus was scheduled for 10:45, and we didn't leave until 12:15. A creepy man was following me around the bus station and wouldn't stop talking to me, causing me to move 3 times and the staff did nothing.

I did not enjoy that Greyhound would not allow me to change the trip date.
