Greyhound Indianapolis Lafayette recent customer reviews

The young Agent did not announce the Bus which came sharp at 2-30 pm for Lafayette from Indianapolis. Earlier she had misled us asking us to watch the exit door E as we had to exit through that gate to board but the people seem to have exited and boarded through another door . The bus they boarded was to Chicago via Lafayette. Being from DC we were not aware this was the route . As a consequence we missed our bus. When it was 2-40 pm we went to check if the bus was late and she told us it had already departed to our utter surprise. She avoided our question on whether there was a announcement and obfuscated. There was clearly no announcement . This is the first time we have had this experience with Greyhound . Not good.
