Greyhound St. Louis Louisville recent customer reviews

The bus driver was very hateful and had absolutely no patience with all boarders. Her lack of warmth and listening skills when speaking resulted in riders being confused and frustrated. I am handicap and have difficulty with my legs but she moved me from one handicap seat to another across the bus ... nonhandicap men ending up sitting in my seat I was moved from. I ended up with a nonhandicap very very VERY large person next to me and I couldn't move my legs the entire trip. I was smashed in and with ms I simply can't be put into one position and expected to not move for hours. Her lack of noticing and caring was zero. The bus smelled horrible of sewage and rotten eggs, I assume it was coming from the mobile bathroom.
