According to customer reviews, Greyhound service has been disappointing. Customers have reported delays and slow service, resulting in missed meetings and inconvenience. Additionally, there have been instances of bus breakdowns after toll gates, causing further delays for passengers who had to resort to alternative transportation like Uber.
I was really disappointed with greyhound having to put us in Eldo bus and then drive to beachfront and we're put in greyhound. All was so slow as if they were not mindful of the time. I missed the meeting I was attending because I was 1:25 minutes late because of the bus
