The AC did not work, so the temperature in the bus was 90 degrees. The chargers for mobile phones did not work...
We didn’t actually get the bus because we booked an 11am bus which was confirmed for 11am by email the day prior. A bus arrived just after 10am and we checked with the driver who waved us away. We had to walk to the greyhound station and catch and pay for another bus.

The bus did not show up on time! I had somewhere to be, shortly after 5 PM when the bus was supposed to arrive. And then, there was no signage or information posted about the appropriate place to stand to catch the bus when I arrived. I didn’t hear one of the Greyhound employees when he allegedly screamed that the bus had arrived and was told to “hurry up” before I missed it when he had not given timely or proper notification of the bus’s arrival.
Philadelphia - no one is sure if they in the right waiting line. Use of PA system needed to know which bus is leaving when.
Absolutely useless! Multiple buses delayed with no staff around to give any assistance to passengers. Our bus stopped on the middle of the highway to eject a passenger which took an hour. It later stopped again and staff refused to leave because they said they could smell cannabis on the bus and we were told we would have to wait for a drugs dog to search the bus. Police never came. 3 hour trip took 5 hours due to poor judgement and bad organisation. Don't use Greyhound buses!
