Greyhound Chicago McAllen recent customer reviews

Very poor service . Disrespectful drivers all the way to San Antonio. Had to reroute cause no room left to sit and because of bus arriving late in Dallas and Memphis. Very confused staff in Memphis and worse in Dallas. Will not recommend to friends or family for service. Unless Greyhound improves.
