This one was extremely bad. I don’t know what is going on with Greyhound… they don’t care about us. First of all, we were 1 hour late. Second, smell of toilet was cutting our eyes! Even when I moved to the first seats, the small was there everywhere! Third, the driver refused to switch on the ac, we had to ask him for this.

At the stop station in ALBANY there is no bathroom in good condition, there is no place to have something to eat comfortably like a sandwich or a good Cafe and the place is look like abandoned. We have to go outside to find something correct. The driver is a real gentleman and we arrive earlier as what the information says to us.
