Greyhound Santa Ana Chicago recent customer reviews
I was suppose to arrive to Chicago Tuesday March 19 at 7:20am. I still haven’t arrived. My bus that picked me up to go to Las Vegas was late about 1:30-2:00 hours late. Had to wait about 10 hours for the next bus to leave to Denver which made me have to reschedule with a new bus.
