Greyhound Lines, Inc. Atlanta Houston recent customer reviews

I for one didn’t like the fact that the bus I traveled on had a leak in the ceiling above me waking me up with a puddle of what ever liquid was leaking from above all over me and my clothes. After reporting it to the driver she was not only rude but extremely dismissive of my problem forcing me to ride the whole 17 hours back in the same seat being leaked on

Trip was fine but there are improvements needed to prevent the loss of luggage...mine was lost and really put me in a bind.

Firstly, our bus was not on time it was very late than expected. Your bus diver was very corporative but me and my family suffered alot in greyhound bus as the air condition was not proper due to which we have to open the window and even wifi was not working. We had really bad experience at Greyhound bus.
