Greyhound Washington Chicago recent customer reviews
This was DEFINITELY the WORST traveling experience i will ever have, bus came 4 hours late on two different trips
The ride in itself was not bad, but the timing was terrible. My last connection drive was lost causing a three hour delay. The driver also made and unplanned stop and left passengers. It was the worst. Never again.
The bus broke during the night. We stayed 6 hours in an autogrill waiting for someone that comes to rescue us. Than we arrive to Pittsburg and they gave us a new schedule for the next day. Take the plane really
