Greyhound St Louis Chicago recent customer reviews
My trip was changed then cancelled and the next bus took 2 hrs . My connection to complete my trip made me arrive at my final destination at 4 am to an empty station where I couldn't get any assistance. Couldn't get a taxi at that hour there. It was a very horrible experience.
My first time from along time to many stops little confusing if we were close or what time we really will be in Chicago in all Ok!
Very professional and courteous. Actually, quite a bit more professional and less stressful than air travel presently. Pleasantly surprised!
