Greyhound Lines, Inc. Newark Albany recent customer reviews

I did round trip Albany to Newark Penn Station. The way down the bus was new and a very nice experience. The way back the bus was in disrepair but ok. The Albany station is embarrassing. Dirty and run down. Albany should be ashamed. Customer service was pleasant and helpful.
