Greyhound Fort Lauderdale New Orleans recent customer reviews

i enjoyed that it sent me to point B. didn’t enjoy the fact that there was constant delays in schedule for the bus taking off or arriving, seats, bathrooms, terminals being utterly disgusting to a point where as a gas station bathroom would seem like an hospitals operation room compared to it. there was people shooting up and smoking in the building with no one caring
