Greyhound Australia Maroochydore Gold Coast recent customer reviews
The bus driver was fun had a great sense of humour. She explained where yo meet the bus and number of bus for the 2nd half of my trip and told me how to get to the cafe. We arrived to Brisbane safely without incident. The overhead voice explained all that we needed to know for our trip. 2nd part of my trip to Gold Coast was run efficiently, had a safe trip without incident and answered my question about booking my trip home. My trip went very quickly and it was enjoyable.
