Greyhound Indianapolis Minneapolis recent customer reviews

I wasted over $100 of my money for a bus that was going to be late when transferring from Chicago to Minnesota. None of the money would be refunded

The first bus I got on was packed and the electrical outlets didn't work. I left my two brand new laptops on the bus being rushed off the bus, and I've been calling customer service all morning trying to get ahold of my possessions but unfortunately no one can track down which garage the driver parked after the trip. I'd like some help that I'm owed before someone steals my things.
