Greyhound Detroit Dayton recent customer reviews
This trip was a disaster ! EVERY bus was late AND had something wrong with it (to and from destinations) ! I was supposed to arrive home at 5am Thursday and didn't get home until 1 am Friday. I was charged $45 to book a new ticket for a bus with NO working outlets just to get stuck in Toledo for almost 6 1/2 hours ! I'm am truly dissatisfied and feel something needs to be done to compensate this matter. This has interfered with my returning to work on time and caused me to spend extra unnecessary money !!
