Was over an hour behind schedule and it wasn’t the drivers fault or traffic but Flix for not giving the driver a phone so he had to call for every passenger which took an insane amount of time

I wasn’t assigned an actual seat. I was given seat 20b but there’s only 15 rows on the bus so I had to take whatever was open, but besides that everything else was great!

Easy process, smooth ride, friendly and helpful employees. Respectful riders, good variety of food in club car. Only negative is that the upholstery on the chairs is quite worn especially on the window side seats.

Amtrak busride was the nicest transportation we experienced on our trip. The driver was friendly, helpful and accomidating. Very professional. This was much better than the squished seats at the back of Alaska Airlines after pushing us to a later flight. We were pleasantly surprised.

0/10. The bus never came and was apparently canceled although no email or notice was sent to update us or share this information. There was no greyhound staff at the station and they were unable to be reached through the phone. All the people at the station who had been expecting this bus with purchased ticket and no indication otherwise were left in the lurch and made to buy an additional ticket but through amtrack to continue the trip. Utterly disgraceful and disappointing

My bus never showed up. I waited at the stop for three hours and ended up having to take three buses to get to seattle. Ended up getting home around 5:30 pm and not the expected 12:35 pm. No one could tell me why my bus didn’t show up.
