Greyhound Albany Philadelphia recent customer reviews

The seats on the bus from Albany to NYC were very cramped and uncomfortable making for a pretty miserable ride on a totally full bus. The seats on the bus from NYC to Phila were much more spacious and comfortable. The drivers were very professional. Staff was courteous and helpful.
