Greyhound Green Bay Chicago recent customer reviews

It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden long distance on a Greyhound bus. I was so surprised and disappointed when I entered the bus in Green Bay. It was dirty. The upholstery was torn on almost every seat. There were leftover bottles and cans. The seats wouldn’t stay upright. I felt like I didn’t want to touch my anything on the bus. Someone had spilled a container of soda the floor was wet and sticky. I was told that was the start of the bus route which means the bus had never been cleaned. I guess greyhound is just not a decent company at all anymore.

This had to be one of the oldest and filthiest busses in the fleet. Nothing worked and there were no outlets to charge phones or other electronic equipment or wifi like advertised
