Bus was nasty. Gum on seats. Boogers on the windows. Floor was sticky. Seats were gross.

I have never travelled with Greyhound before because it has always been given such a negative reputation so it was a pleasant surprise that everything was much better than anticipated. I'm glad I tried the service and will not hesitate to travel with Greyhound again in the future.

Amtrak Atlanta Birmingham recent customer reviews

We enjoyed the ride. But on our return the train was very late. Having a 6 year old traveling was a disaster. We were to get home at 11pm but got home at 2:30am had to walk a distance to get to the car when my 6 year old crying and I am tired and sleepy and had to drive 1.5 hour drive home. Not happy
