Greyhound Lines, Inc. Memphis Washington recent customer reviews

I liked the drop off and pickup. I liked how there were seatbelts. I wish there was a trash can on board or maybe some kind of cleaning service. Like how on a flight the attendants clean in between stops. I feel like there should be someone on board besides the driver so that when we stop they can do a quick clean before we continue the trip
