Greyhound Gainesville Chicago recent customer reviews
The driver literally lied to me. He told there is another bus from Gainesville to atlanta behind him. But after waiting for 3 hr in cold outside, I called greyhound and there was no bus. I had to leave by means from Gainesville to atlanta so I took the uber from from gainsville to atlanta which cost me a lot and was able to catch my next transfer in atlanta. I was wondering do the greyhound pay for the compensation
