Awful! Customer service was not helpful. Bus never arrived with no explanation. Myself and others were stranded for hours! Will never use this company again!

Terrible - I arrived ten minutes early and the bus in the gate wasn't moving, had it's lights off. 30 minutes later the bus driver emerged and claimed we'd all missed the bus, wouldn't let ppl on, could barely communicate. Finally relented. Got into NYC way later as a result. No charging, no wifi - overpriced!

I enjoyed the seat confort, but the driver was very unfriendly..I will ask him questions about the trip as it was my first time to take the bus from Boston to NY and he would barely reply

Greyhound was prompt in leaving on time. The weather was bad with a snow storm affecting roads to the west of Boston, so speed on the early part of the journey was below average. However, I appreciate that due to safety. The Boston South Station bust terminal has NO CONCESSIONS open at the time of this departure (0630hrs) so buy food the night before and or pick up coffee on your way to the station.

The journey was comfortable, began on time and reached on time. Driving was very safe. There could be more leg room between seats. It felt a little cramped.

What I missed most was the lack of information related to the route, places we passed by. I expected more from Business Class. For example some service, like a bottle of water. Except of the above, the journey was pleasant.
