Greyhound Lines, Inc. Fort Lauderdale Tampa recent customer reviews
Greyhound was an amazing experience. The driver was early by about 5 to 10 minutes on every stop. And he made sure that we had a break to where people were able to go get food in the middle of our trip, which was very convenient for everybody because the whole bus went and grab something to eat.
I asked him to turn the AC down at one point because it was really cold for more than half of the passengers on the bus. He was gracious enough to turn the AC off so everybody can warm up.. All in all it was a very wonderful experience.
