The wifi was not working. The chairs don't have a number so my family was split.

The Bus was over 4 hours late. The premises lack bathrooms - the Staff directing Customers to unbelievably deplorable, filthy, unsanitary Porta-John units located outside of the building - causing One to hold any needs, or risk missing the transport in search of acceptable facilities. All things considered, I would never recommend Greyhound to anyone!

Despite the fact that the coach broke down from Atlanta to Charlotte, which caused a 3 hour delay, the staff and drivers were professional and kind.

Travelers have reported arriving at their destinations, such as New York City, three hours earlier than scheduled. While this early arrival is appreciated for its efficiency, it has caused some timing issues with car rentals and hotel check-ins.
