Greyhound Kalamazoo Detroit recent customer reviews

Hours late going to and from. Had to sleep overnight in the bus station. No returning fares offered till 7:50 the next day and it was hours late. Not much information about where my bus was. Just a lot of waiting and wondering. The staff could have offered blankets, pillows and food for those stranded all night. cold sleepless night in a bus station. :(

Station was closed at 6 pm. Arrived at 620 for a 945 bus and couldn't print my ticket. Other sign says closed at 7 pm and online it says station closes at 10 pm. Driver charged me 45$ despite the fact that I already had the ticket on my phone and a will call. I was able to get it printed and the driver refunded me in Detroit. But it was stressful. I didn't have a printer where I was so I used will call.
