I love traveling here in Australia with greyhound, something it's on time sometimes it's not however I got to my destination safely so I cannot comment any further.
Romina M.
The driving was fine, my main concern was the attitude of the driver. He humiliated a customer for smoking, and I from then felt comfortable and unwelcomed. I had to step in egg shells thinking I may annoy him, and get the shame humiliation. I don't feel that any customer should feel that way

The bus was really comfortable and clean, however 1h late is such a long time, we haven't even been informed of the lateness so we could not arrange our plans
