Greyhound Sarasota Tampa recent customer reviews

The staff was friendly and professional, the trip was without incident. The bus however was in poor repair. I switched seats 3 times ans the electrical outlets were both loose to the point of my chargerr plug falling out, and dead, meaning no current thru the outlet. Also, wifi signal died 5 minutes out of the station and i never got connected through out the entire trip
