Greyhound Lines, Inc. Los Angeles New York City recent customer reviews

Greyhound does nothing to train or control their drivers. One didn’t know how to operate the bus, one blew off a wifi request, and one was throwing people off the bus for kicks - stranded me in the middle of a 3000 mile trip just to be a jerk.
