The last bus driver yelled on the phone the entire ride and was very rude, also drove very slow eating while driving and made me late to my pick up time.

I enjoyed nothing about the ride. The bus broke down 3 hours after departure. I waited on a cold bus for 3 additional hours for a bus to come and continue getting us to our destination. I was to transfer to get to Richmond. Needless to say I didnt reach Richmond in time because of the breakdown earlier. The next bus leaves 5:40, so I have to wait an additional 5 hours. As of yet I have not reached home which should’ve been at noon, it’s 4:45 now. Tired and frustrated.

After getting on the expressway we got in like 30 minutes pulled over and something was wrong with the bus we had to wait on another bus to come and that took 4 hours and Greyhound was just 30 minutes away so that was my problem with Greyhound not getting to my destination on time

It was honestly horrible..not one bus made the time we were scheduled. I arrived two hours to my connecting bus station and what was supposed to be an 11:45am arrival into Norfolk turned into a departure of Richmond at 4:30pm.
