Greyhound Cincinnati Indianapolis recent customer reviews

They do not care about costumers. I was supposed to be in Indianapolis at 10 pm from Cincinnati and as of now (2:15 am) I am stuck in Columbus with another delayed bus and a lost connection to my destination .

The station in Cincinnati smelled like pee! The employees are clearly under paid, because they don't give a rate as about the customers, and they are very mean and not customer oriented, the bus was an hour and a half late, the AC was not working, everything that could possibly go wrong did! I don't think I'll ever ride greyhound again, it's just not worth it!

So much better than the previous experience. Liked that bus driver put hand written notice on front seats to keep for disabled.
