Bus kind of smelled, pleasant ride, kind of rude staff at actual station, kind bus driver
I am very satisfied with my Greyhound bus trip, clean, safe, pleasant. I rekommend.
The bus needs more attention on in hygiene. The homeless smell was very strong!
Awful service. We missed the bus because it left 10 minutes early from LA even though it was the first stop on the route. The staff was unhelpful and did not attempt to help us.
at first the staff made an announcement to say the bus would be about 2 hours late. this made everyone slightly upset. then after the 2 hours had passed they made another announcement to say the bus would be another 3 hours so a few of the passengers took it upon themselves to find their own way to santa barbara. we had asked about our options regarding a refund but the lady on the desk was ignoring the passengers and was not helpful what so ever and was very rude to her customers
Bus was in decent shape but the departure was delayed by over three hours.
40 minute delay, no info, no any stop on the way to visit rest room, coach is very uncomfortable.
The bus was over an hour late, smelled like pee pee and the chargers and WiFi did not work. Thanks
We were late by 40 minutes to my destination and the wifi on my bus didn't work at all. Very annoying
The bus was tree hours late! The floor in the bus was super sticky and dirty. And the toilet was grose!
And hour and a half late to Santa Barbara. 6am trip on 4/8 left at 730am....Also would love to thank Oscar Martinez for offering to print my 3rd party boarding pass....when there are only 2 or 3 trips a day to Santa Barbara, I expect that they be all on time....
