Greyhound Indianapolis Cleveland recent customer reviews

My bus was delayed 2 hours, so I changed to another bus. The new bus had a 3.75 hr layover and had me arrive at my destination almost 4 hours after my original arrival time.

The bus was 3 hours late. I was suppose to arrive in Cleveland at 7:40am and I didn't arrive until 4:20pm. Instead of 1 layover I had 3. But we did receive free meals for the inconvenience.
