the bus broke own after 30 mins after leaving the station. we had to wait another 30-40 mins for another bus to pick us up. When the bus did arrive it was also not mechanically sound and was struggling to gain speed.
It is a good bus, comfortable and the air conditioner was lovely

Bad service. Even worse bus
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
