Greyhound Australia Sydney Byron Bay recent customer reviews
The seats were comfortable and the toilet was nice, so was the driver. But at 2:30am I got left behind at a gas station by myself, with all of my belongings in the bus. That is probably one of the most scary experiences I’ve had so far. Count heads, especially in the night where people have just woken up and are confused as is.

drivers were nice, not much leg space but other than that can’t complain for the price
