I’m very disappointed I will never travel with greyhound anymore never in my life please give me back my money

We missed the bus as there was no staff on site. Buses were not marked, no announcements and no platform listed on the screen. Once we found a staff member at exactly our departure time they said the bus had already left. Very poor experience. The terminal had homeless people flooding in and out. We ended up having to take a $140 Uber to Newark so we didn’t miss our flight. Very disappointed.
