Greyhound St. Louis New Orleans recent customer reviews
I didn't get to New Orleans on this bus. I got to Baton Rouge at 8pm and was told the next bus was at 5am the following morning. We missed the connecting bus by over an hour. 5 of us caught an uber to New Orleans as we had to get there and didn't want to wait all night for another bus.
