Everything was fine except no time to clean the bus before we boarded. It was a mess!
4 out of 5 stars
Kathleen G.
The service was miserable. My bus got cancelled. I had to catch a flight in Richmond and spent 111$ to get there. I believe it would be Greyhound's responsibility to cover part of those costs. On top of that, there was a bus leaving at 8 a.m. leaving from C'ville to Richmond (the 4.30 a.m. one) They should have informed me so that I could have taken that one. I saw it because I came to the station for reimbursement but obviously did not have my luggage with me. So, I'm not satisfied with the service at all and will not use Greyhound in the future. Best, Franziska Oertle
