Greyhound New York City Columbus recent customer reviews

Both drivers were extremely nasty with people. The first one got into an altercation with a car driver because he almost hit him. The driver was spitting and coughing all the way to Pittsburgh and he was falling asleep many times. It was a scary ride. The second driver, a lady, was very angry and nasty all the time and clearly a racist against White people. She would demand White people to hang up their phone calls but when non-White were screaming on their phone calls, she never said anything to them. The trip was ok, the drivers not at all. They should be fired.
