Greyhound Lines, Inc. Schenectady Boston recent customer reviews

The 5 hour journey from Schenectady to Boston should've started at 0935. 3 mins before that we got s text that there was a 3vhour delay despite the app stating on-time start. 3 hours later we boarded a replacement bus with no heat in sub freezing temps. By Albany every one was frozen and we switched to yet another bus. That bus leaked its coolant so had to be abandoned in Springfield causing a 6 hour delay. The bus driver was excellent and advocated for us wonderfully but greyhound support was woefully poor. Will not take greyhound ever again

We were to board in Schenectady NY at 855am. At 9:15 I called and was told they were running two hours behind. I then missed my flight in Boston at Atlanta. I was flying in for a funeral. The staff was very rude and I was also traveling with my three children. I was stressed and no one was helpful in the situation what so ever
