The poorest trip I've ever been on. No Covid-19 regulations were adhered to - bus was packed. No wifi connection and I had to ask the driver twice to switch on the aircon on the upper deck. Toiletdoor had no lock, no toiletpaper and overall bad experience. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
Surprisingly easy trip to take with minimal stops. Very hot. Bus is very loud. USB charger is too high up to charge phone. No toilet paper or sanitizer in the bathroom.
Honestly I just feel that grey hound is overrated.
1. The Screen on the upper deck kept on flickering all the time which was irritating my eyes. Asked them to switch it off, they said it was faulty.
2. There was no entertainment on the bus like they claimed to have on the advertisement.
3. Some of the charger cables didn’t work.
4. Chairs were not that comfortable
Rude drivers, completely unhelpful; barked instructions and issued unclear messages, filthy deck - floor full of litter and stained seats and pungent smell.
