Greyhound Indianapolis Philadelphia recent customer reviews
Wow. The bus was over five hours late, and no one at the info desk offered me any options. No discount, voucher, nothing.
1 out of 5 stars
Lillian M.
Initially the bus was behind getting into indianapolus but did keep customers informed. Columbus, the staff was not as communicative to the customers. The bus was to have originally leave at 1250 am did not leave until 3 am. Then, the representative was going to let people on board the bus first before the reboarders. It took the reboarders to speak up to make sure they boarded first. Columbus was just disorganized and not communicative. Then the bus to cleveland did not have a driver,as that person ran out of hours. They had to have staff drive down from Cleveland to Columbus and pick up the customers. Doesn't make ant sense.
The rest of the trip was good.
