Greyhound Atlanta Newark recent customer reviews

Our driver didn't show up at one of our stops delaying us to 4 hours which made us miss the transfer bus at the other stop which added to the trips delay and there was no measure in place for us and they should've been notified about our delay and put measures in place for us so the Girl told me if they have space on another bus we would be fitted in she will see what she can do which didn't give me much comfort

Trip was good lay overs were annoying overall I was a bit comfortable until the end I was comfortable enough to get some sleep

While the bus driver did make up the time of a delayed trip, it was the cost of almost all of our scheduled breaks. And, the bus drivers were rude in the way they told us that nobody is getting off this bus if this is not your stop!!
